Two part chemical sources

Thanks again for continued advice!

In the UK, supplies of sodium carbonate with any attachment of a 'food grade' label seem impossible to find. I have located one source, 'technical grade' given as 99.3% purity, with the following analysis:
Typical
Total Alkali Na2CO3 % : 99.00 MIN. 99.6
Total Alkali Na2O % : 57.90 MIN. 58.2
Bicarbonate N a H C O 3 % : 0.70 MAX. 0.21
Moisture (loss on heating ) % : 0.50 MAX. 0.20
Insolubles in water @ 20ºc. mg/kg : 200 MAX. 105
Chloride NaCl % : 0.30 MAX. 0.10
Sulphate Na2SO4 mg/kg : 400 MAX. 90
Iron Fe2O3 mg/kg : 30 MAX. 9
Fluoride F mg/kg : 15 MAX. <5*
Arsenic As mg/kg : 1 MAX. <0.1*
Cadmium Cd mg/kg : 1 MAX. <0.5*
Chromium Cr mg/kg : 1 MAX. <0.1*
Cobalt Co mg/kg : 1 MAX. <0.1*
Copper Cu mg/kg : 1 MAX. <0.1*
Lead Pb mg/kg : 1 MAX. <0.5*
Manganese Mn mg/kg : 1 MAX. <0.1*
Nickel Ni mg/kg : 1 MAX. <0.1*
Titanium Ti mg/kg : 1 MAX. <0.2*
Vanadium V mg/kg : 1 MAX. <0.1*
*Actual level is below the limit of detection

Is this pure enough? The impurites of copper, iron and so on make me nervous - okay, small amounts, but will presumably build up over time. There again, a food grade seems to have a definition of better than 99.5% so even that would have impurities, and so could the 'aquarium product' supplies.

Any thoughts in suitability, anyone?
 
It doesn't look like what you've found actually has much, if any heavy metal impurities with the possible exception of iron, which will not cause any issues in a reef tank. You should be good.
