Sodium Sulphate Anhydrous
Original price was: $ 0.89.$ 0.77Current price is: $ 0.77.
Sodium Sulphate Anhydrous (Na₂SO₄) is a white crystalline powder, odorless and highly soluble in water. Unlike the decahydrate form (Glauber’s salt), this anhydrous grade contains minimal water content, making it ideal for industrial applications requiring low moisture levels. Supplied in 25kg packaging, it is widely used as a filler, drying agent, and raw material in detergents, glass manufacturing, pulp and paper, and chemical synthesis. Its excellent stability, non-hygroscopic nature, and cost-effectiveness make it an essential bulk chemical.
