You’re gazing out the window at the world outside, but do you ever wonder what went into making that window?  One of the primary ingredients in manufacturing glass is a compound commonly called soda ash.  Its official name is sodium carbonate, and it is used for much more than just making glass. Soda Ash UK makes this compound to be used for things like laundry detergent, and water softening agents.  Believe it or not, it is also a key ingredient in the food industry, used as an anti-caking agent, and an acidity regulator.  So, think about that the next time you look out that window.
