Appearance
white granular/powder
Representative values shown. Choose grade by handling (bulk density/flow) and application needs. Run dose trials to hit target alkalinity without overshooting pH setpoints.

Applications Packaging Storage & Handling
• Water treatment pH/alkalinity adjustment; acid neutralization; buffering for coagulation; scrubber alkalinity; pulp & paper; detergents; glass manufacture; chemical synthesis.
• Typical pH control dosing based on alkalinity gap and flow—pilot to optimize and avoid overshoot.
• 25 kg bags • 50 kg bags • 1 MT big bags • Bulk (rail/road).
• Solution: 1000 L IBC • bulk tanker.
• Non‑DG. Keep dry, sealed, and off the floor; avoid moisture/CO₂ pickup (caking). Use dust control and PPE; solutions are strongly alkaline—avoid contact with acids and aluminum in confined systems. Clean spills dry to prevent slippery floors.
Specs are representative; shipped material conforms to the COA for the lot. Regulatory permissions for food and potable‑water use vary by market—confirm locally.
