Crex (Sodium Sesquicarbonate) 25kg Bag

Sodium Sesquicarbonate is a mixed crystal of Sodium Carbonate and Sodium Bicarbonate, hydrated with water.

The Sodium Bicarbonate presence in the crystal moderates the pH to approximately 9.9 in a 10% solution,

so is ideal for formulations where irritancy is to be avoided and extra buffering is required.

The importance of this will magnify with the implementation of the CLP regulations.

The water bound up in the crystal means that the product is cold water soluble unlike Sodium Carbonate which cakes with cold water.

Ideal for formulating into laundry powders for low temperature use and cold water fill machines.

An ideal alternative ingredient to phosphates, as the builder in powder hard surface cleaners. The pH allows gentle grease removal especially when aided with surfactants

Sodium Sesquicarbonate is included on the INCI list of cosmetic ingredients and is the industry standard builder for traditional bath salt formulations, treating hard water for a relaxing bathe.

The product can also be incorporated into bath bombs and bath cubes.
