Description

Application
Used mainly in glass and ceramic manufacturing where it acts as a flux to lower melting temperatures and modify the properties of the finished material.

Purpose
Helps improve the workability melting behavior and chemical properties of silicate-based materials and is also used as a chemical intermediate.

General Description
Sodium oxide is a white to gray highly reactive inorganic solid. It reacts readily with water to form sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
