Auxiliary Chemical Products

Sodium hydroxide, also called caustic soda, is an inorganic chemical compound with the chemical formula NaOH. It is solid at ambient temperature.
It generally comes in flakes or white pearls.
It is used as a reagent for saponification. It is also a corrosive product used to clean industrial facilities.
CAS no: 1310-73-2

Sodium hydrosulfite or sodium dithionite is a white powder with a weak sulfurous odor. It is one of the most important reducing whitening agents. It is used in some industrial dyeing processes to eliminate colorant excesses, residual oxides and unintentional pigments, and for whitening paper pulp.
CAS no: 7775-14-6
Purity: 88% min.

Sodium carbonate is an inorganic chemical compound with the chemical formula Na2CO3.
It is a carbonic acid sodium salt. Used in the manufacture of detergent powders.
CAS no: 497-19-8.

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is composed of a carbonate ion (CO32-) and a calcium ion (Ca2+). It is often used as a bulking agent in the manufacture of soaps.
EINECS no: 207-439-9

Talc is a mineral composed of double-hydroxylated magnesium silicate. Talc adds a smoothing and softening effect to soap. It also gives creamier foam and smaller bubbles.
CAS no: 14807-96-6

Sodium (meta)silicate (or disodium salt of silicic acid or disodium trioxosilicate) is an odorless chemical substance that is readily soluble in water. It is a strong base that produces an alkaline solution. It is corrosive to skin and mucous membranes (pH 13 solution at 1%). Used in the manufacture of detergent powders.
Anhydrous form: crystalline solid, from translucent to white.
CAS no: 6834-92-0

Sodium triphosphate (STP), also called Sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) or Tripolyphosphate (TP), is an inorganic compound. It is mass-produced as a component of many domestic and industrial products, particularly detergent powders.
CAS no: 7758-29-4

Optical agents provide a “radiant whitening” effect.
They are molecules that have numerous components also known as “fluorescent agents”. They are used in household soaps and detergent powders.

Titanium dioxide or Titanium oxide (IV) is composed of oxygen and titanium, chemical formula TiO2. It gives soap a whiter aspect.
CAS no: 13463-67-7

Calcium hypochlorite, also called whitening powder, is often used for whitening processes. Thanks to its fast reaction and excellent whitening effect, it plays an important role in industrial production. When diluted it is the active principle in bleach solutions.
CAS no: 7778-54-3
