SODIUM SULFATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Sodium Sulfate is a white, crystalline inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na2SO4. It is used in various industrial, chemical, and household applications primarily as a filler, detergent builder, and drying agent. In the cleaning industry, Sodium Sulfate is employed in the formulation of laundry detergents and dishwashing detergents, providing effective removal of dirt and stains. It is also used in the production of certain textiles and paper products, where it acts as a filler and sizing agent. In the chemical industry, Sodium Sulfate is used as a reagent in the synthesis of various compounds and as a drying agent in certain chemical processes. Proper handling and storage of Sodium Sulfate are essential to maintain its quality and prevent moisture absorption. It is generally considered safe for use, although proper safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are essential to prevent irritation and other health hazards. Its versatility and effectiveness make Sodium Sulfate a valuable chemical in numerous applications.
