Chloride Chemical

Tata Chemicals manufactures light soda ash using the ammonia-soda process. We are the among the world's largest and the most geographically diversified soda ash companies. Our manufacturing facilities in India, the UK, the US and Kenya constitute an efficient supply chain that can service customers across the globe.

We have a global capacity of around 5.5 million tonnes of soda ash per annum, of which 60 per cent is from natural deposits at Wyoming, US, and Lake Magadi, Kenya. Besides, the company owns 35 per cent of the global low-cost and sustainable natural soda ash capacity.

Soda ash is most commonly used in:

• Manufacture of glass, where it reduces the melting temperature of the sand used in glass formation and helps in the 'workability' or shaping of glass articles such as tableware and float glass
• Making soaps and detergents, where it is employed as a builder, or filler, to give a smoother surface
• Production of chemicals such as sodium silicate, sodium bicarbonate and percarbonate, and sodium chromate and dichromate
• Pulp and paper manufacture, water treatment, effluent treatment, metallurgy and drugs
