Sodium oxide(Cat No.:M049727) is a chemical compound with the formula Na2O, consisting of sodium and oxygen. It is a white, crystalline solid at room temperature, exhibiting strong basic properties and a high melting point. Sodium oxide is highly reactive with water, forming sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and therefore must be handled with care to avoid moisture. It is primarily used in the production of glass, ceramics, and other sodium compounds like peroxides. In the glass industry, sodium oxide is added to silica sand to lower the melting point and improve workability.
