Product Description
Sodium Sulfate (Na2SO4) is a white crystalline inorganic salt widely used across detergent manufacturing, glass production, textile processing, pulp and paper, chemical manufacturing, and mining operations. Supplied by Zenco Systems Ltd to industrial facilities throughout Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and the greater East African region, it serves as an effective filler and bulking agent in detergent formulations and plays a critical role in industrial manufacturing processes due to its chemical stability, high solubility in water, non-toxic and odorless nature.
