Sodium Chloride 1kg / NaCl (micropearl) / Thickener

Sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt, is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl, representing a 1:1 ratio of sodium and chloride ions. Sodium chloride is the salt most responsible for the salinity of seawater and of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular organisms.

1. Composition: Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a chemical compound composed of sodium and chlorine elements.

2. Occurrence: It occurs naturally in salt mines, underground deposits, and seawater.

3. Properties: Sodium chloride is a stable, white crystalline solid that readily dissolves in water, with a high melting and boiling point.

4. Application:

a)Thickening Agent: Sodium chloride can be added to some liquid and gel detergents as a thickening agent. It increases the viscosity of the detergent, making it easier to control and dispense. This can improve the detergent's performance when used in automatic washing machines.

b) Abrasive: In some powdered detergents, sodium chloride can serve as a mild abrasive. It helps in the physical removal of stains and dirt from fabrics when the detergent is agitated in the washing machine.
