Soda ash and sodium bicarbonate for Vietnam
Light soda ash for detergent and textile plants, dense soda ash for glass, and feed grade sodium bicarbonate. Quoted FOB Tianjin or CIF / CFR Cat Lai (Ho Chi Minh City) and Haiphong, with a batch COA and Form E.
Yizhou Chem is a trading company in Hohhot and an authorized distributor of Berun, China’s largest soda ash and baking soda producer by capacity. We buy soda ash and sodium bicarbonate at source from Berun’s supply plant, Inner Mongolia Berun Yingen Chemical Co., Ltd. in Alxa League, Inner Mongolia, with no monthly volume cap, and handle the export: grade, packing, the plant’s batch COA matched to the bag markings, and the shipping documents.
For Vietnam we lead with light soda ash, packed in 50 kg bags or jumbo bags, and dense soda ash in jumbo bags. Feed grade sodium bicarbonate to GB 7300.801-2019 ships in 25 kg bags or jumbo bags, on its own or in a mixed container. Food and industrial grade bicarbonate are quoted on request.
Send the grade, quantity, packing and discharge port. We reply with a written quote within 24 hours (GMT+8, Mon–Sat), valid for 7 calendar days, and send a 500 g sample with the matching COA free of charge before a first order.
Light soda ash is the usual alkaline builder in powder detergent and also serves textile dyeing and water treatment. Dense soda ash suits glass batches, with less dust in handling. Both soda ash grades are quoted to GB/T 210-2022 Class II superior grade: total alkali (dry basis) ≥ 99.2%, NaCl ≤ 0.70%, Fe ≤ 0.0035%. Dense soda ash adds bulk density ≥ 0.90 g/mL and 180 µm residue ≥ 70%. If you are replacing another supplier, send their specification and we match the grade.
Feed grade NaHCO₃ to the feed-additive standard GB 7300.801-2019: total alkalinity ≥ 99%, with heavy-metal (as Pb), arsenic and cadmium limits. For feed mills and feed-ingredient distributors. Mixed-grade loading in one container is routine: each grade keeps its own batch numbers, bag markings and COA.
