  • Applications

    Sodium sulfate (CAS number: 7757-82-6) is a widely used inorganic salt with several industrial applications. It is commonly used as a filler in laundry detergents and cleaning products to add bulk, improve flow, and stabilize texture. It also functions as a drying agent for organic solvents and solvent systems in laboratories and manufacturing, helping remove residual water before processing. In glass manufacturing, sodium sulfate serves as a fining agent to remove gas bubbles and help control melt properties. In textile dyeing and printing, it is used as an electrolyte to adjust ionic strength and enhance dye uptake.
