Sodium carbonate serves as a neutralizing agent, allowing for the adjustment of the pH levels in glazes and ceramic bodies. It helps stabilize glaze colors and ensures the chemical stability of ceramic products.

Sodium carbonate can enhance the formation of ceramic bodies, improving their plasticity and formability, making it easier to achieve the desired shapes and structures when creating ceramic products.

In ceramic glaze formulation, sodium carbonate can act as a deflocculant, reducing the attraction between particles, enhancing glaze stability and uniformity.

Sodium carbonate functions as a flux, aiding in lowering the melting temperature of glazes and ceramic bodies. This can enhance the bond between glazes and ceramic bodies, improving the strength of ceramic products.
