Sodium percarbonate in commonly known as: baking soda.

Sodium percarbonate, with the chemical formula Na2CO3, also known as sodium bicarbonate or soda ash, is an important inorganic compound. It has a wide range of applications in industry and daily life.

Sodium percarbonate is a white crystalline solid, odorless and bitter in taste. It is a compound composed of sodium ions (Na+), carbonate ions (CO32-), and has a high solubility. It reacts with water to produce sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide, and thus appears alkaline in water.

Sodium percarbonate is widely used in industrial manufacturing and daily life.

1, glass manufacturing: sodium percarbonate is one of the important raw materials in glass manufacturing. It can lower the melting point of glass and improve the thermal shock resistance and chemical resistance of glass.

2, alkaline manufacturing cellulose: sodium percarbonate plays an important role in pulp and cellulose manufacturing. It is used as a dissolving agent for cellulose under alkaline conditions, which helps in the bleaching of pulp and the preparation of cellulose.

3. Paint and coating industry: Sodium percarbonate is commonly used in the paint and coating industry as an additive to pigments and fillers. It provides properties such as whitening, durability and paint fluidity.

4, alkaline method of manufacturing soap: Sodium percarbonate is used as an important raw material in soap manufacturing under alkaline conditions. It reacts with fatty acids to produce soap.

5, water treatment: sodium percarbonate can be used as a water treatment agent for regulating the pH value of water and neutralizing acids.

6, building materials: sodium percarbonate is also widely used in building materials. It can be used as an additive for mortar and concrete to improve their strength and durability.

Precautions when using sodium percarbonate

1, prevent contact with skin and eyes: sodium percarbonate is alkaline, direct contact with skin or eyes may cause irritation and chemical burns. During use, please wear appropriate protective gloves, glasses and protective clothing to avoid direct contact.

2. Avoid inhaling dust: Sodium percarbonate in powder form produces dust, inhalation of excessive dust may cause respiratory tract irritation and discomfort. When handling sodium percarbonate, ensure that the working environment is well ventilated or use respiratory protection equipment.
