Soda Crystals are Sodium Carbonate Decahydrate and sometimes referred to as Hydrated Soda Ash or Washing Soda. They are a mid strength alkali crystal, not as strong as caustic soda but much safer to use. The high level of hydration makes this crystal extremely water soluble; in fact the crystals will dissolve in their own water of crystallisation to make a supersaturated sodium carbonate liquor over 35^oC.

Soda Crystals see the bulk of their use in household cleaning and laundry but in 10kg and 25kg bags they also have a growing use in industrial cleaning, in any situation where grease and oil build up is a problem.

Typical customers include oil works and oil re-processors, dairies, Chinese cash and carries, chip shops and takeaways.

There are many different applications for cleaning with Soda Crystals, from putting dry crystals onto a greasy floor and sweeping them around, to making up a hot or cold solution or slurry.

The maximum strength of a solution is around 40% by weight and can be obtained by heating the neat crystals over 33^oC, at which point they will dissolve in their own water of crystallisation. Allowing the solution to cool again will result in the crystals reforming.
