Description

Application
It is widely applied in glass manufacturing soap and detergent production water softening pH regulation in pools and as a cleaning agent in household products.

Purpose
Its primary purpose is acting as a strong base for neutralizing acids precipitating insoluble carbonates and facilitating chemical reactions like saponification due to its alkalinity and buffering properties.
