Description
Colorless, crystalline solid. Hydrated sodium sulfate occurs in nature as the mineral mirabilite. In the 17th century it was called Glauber's salt after a German chemist, Johann Glauber who extracted it from Hungarian spring water. Sodium sulfate is used in the manufacture of Kraft paper, Paperboard, Glass, synthetic ultramarine blue, and ceramic Glaze. It is also used as a leveling agent in dyeing textiles to ensure even color acceptance.
