Soda Ash
In Bhutan

We are one of the leading Exporter & Suppliers of Soda Ash, It has a cooling alkaline taste, and can be extracted from the ashes of many plants. It is synthetically produced in large quantities from table salt and limestone.

PROPERTIES:
Soda ash has a tendency to absorb moisture from the atmosphere. The moist soda ash then starts absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide. This phenomenon of absorption of moisture and carbon dioxide is known as weathering. After weathering, soda ash is likely to contain appreciable moisture and sodium bicarbonate, though its total alkali content does not change. Soda ash has a tendency to cake when it comes into contact with moisture and, consequently, becomes lumpy.
