Product Description of Sodium Sulfate CAS#7757-82-6
Sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄), also known as thenardite or salt cake, is a crystalline compound with a melting point of 888°C (1632°F). Naturally occurring as thenardite in regions such as Chile and Spain, it is widely used in the production of paperboard, glass, and freezing mixtures.
The hydrated form, Na₂SO₄·10H₂O, commonly called "Glauber’s salt," is a stable, white, water-soluble compound obtained by heating sodium chloride with sulfuric acid. It finds applications in dyeing, glass manufacturing, and the production of sodium bisulfate.
