Sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) is an inorganic ceramic compound commonly encountered in salt form, used primarily as a filler, processing aid, and thermal storage material in industrial applications. In construction and materials processing, it serves roles in cement production, glass manufacturing, and as a component in thermal energy storage systems where its phase-change properties are leveraged. Engineers select sodium sulfate for cost-effectiveness in large-scale applications and its chemical stability, though its hygroscopic nature and relatively modest mechanical strength limit its use to non-structural or secondary applications.
