1.Ukwenziwa kwengilazi kungenye yezinto ezisetshenziswa kakhulu ze-sodium carbonate.Uma ihlanganiswa ne-silica (SiO2) ne-calcium carbonate (CaCO3) futhi ifudunyezwa emazingeni okushisa aphezulu kakhulu, bese ipholisa ngokushesha kakhulu, ingilazi iyakhiqizwa.Lolu hlobo lwengilazi lwaziwa ngokuthi ingilazi ye-soda lime.
2. Umlotha wesoda nawo usetshenziselwa ukuhlanza umoya nokuthambisa amanzi.
3. Ukwenziwa kwe-Caustic Soda nama-dyestuffs
4. i-metallurgy (ukucubungula insimbi nokukhipha insimbi njll);
5. (ingilazi eyisicaba, izitsha zobumba ezihlanzekile)
6. Ukuzivikela kuzwelonke (ukukhiqiza kwe-TNT, i-60% ye-gelatin-type dynamite) nezinye izici, njengokucwenga uwoyela wamadwala, ukukhiqizwa kwephepha, upende, ukucwenga usawoti, ukuthambisa amanzi aqinile, insipho, umuthi , ukudla nokunye.
