Sodium Sulfate

Sodium sulfate is a highly water soluble compound mainly used in the manufacture of detergents and in paper pulping. In detergents its largest use is as a filler for powdered laundry detergents. It also has uses in the glass industry as a fining agent, and in textile manufacturing as a levelling agent. On a smaller scale, it can be used as a drying agent in organic solutions, as a laxative, in defrosting windows, carpet-fresheners, and in starch manufacturing.
