Soda ash substitute

Formulated using advanced technology and can be applied in reactive dyeing processes, replacing soda ash.

Compared with traditional processes, Antree Soda ash substitue offers high color yield, better color stability, ease of operation, excellent leveling properties, and a significantly lower COD value in dyeing wastewater, resulting in ideal outcomes

  • Appearance: White powder

  • pH (1% aqueous solution): 12.0–13.0

  • Solubility: Easily soluble in cold water

Key Benefits:

  • Low dosage required — only 1/8 to 1/10 of the dosage of soda ash.

  • Excellent dispersing performance, effectively preventing the formation of white powder deposits and ensuring bright, vivid fiber shades.

  • Provides strong chelating action, improving water quality by suspending and dispersing impurities. It offers excellent diffusibility and dye solubility, making it especially suitable for package yarns, tightly wound materials, and low liquor ratio dyeing conditions.

  • Superior alkalinity buffering capacity with extremely high solubility (approximately twice that of soda ash), delivering uniform dyeing performance on cotton and effectively preventing shade unevenness.

  • After dyeing, it can reduce liquor-flow washing water consumption by approximately 40% and acid consumption for neutralization by about 30%.

  • Cost-effective — significantly reduces overall processing costs, achieving over 50% cost savings compared with soda ash.

  • Compared with soda-ash-treated solutions, the COD value of the wastewater is substantially lower, greatly reducing the burden of wastewater treatment for manufacturers.
