Sodium metabisulfite

La description

We offer a wide range of Sodium Metabisulphite. Many chemical properties of Sodium Metabisulfite or sodium pyrosulfite make it a versatile compound useful in many applications. Bisulfites are used in industries concerned with leather processing, food and beverage processing, gas purification, water treatment to remove excess chlorine, textiles and pulp processing and many others.

Dye-industry: Used as dechlorination agent and cotton boiling-off agent for bleached cotton.

Photographic industry: It is acidic and preservative properties also make it an effective substitute for sodium bisulfite, a chemical which is used in traditional darkroom photography.

Rubber industry: In rubber industry, it is used as coagulative agent.

Acrylic sheets manufacturing: It is used in making of acrylic sheets.

Water pipes: The chemical is also used in the process of purifying water, cleaning water pipes and reverse osmosis membranes in desalinization equipment as it is an antibacterial. It is usually added to large piping systems to prevent oxidative corrosion.

Pharmaceutical Industries: It is an antioxidant additive in injectable medicines and is also used as a reducing agent in pharmaceuticals.

Chemical Industries: It is a common reducing agent in chemical industries. Also, Sodium Metabisulfite is used as a bleaching agent in pulp and textile manufacture. It is also a known preservative in cosmetics. The chemical, in concentrated form, has also been used in landscape gardening as a tree stump remover, as it disintegrates the lignin *- chemicals in plant cell walls *- in the tree stumps, making them easier to remove.

Wine & Beer industry: It is also present in wines and beers, as it is used as both a sterilizer and an antioxidant in the process of brewing beer or fermenting wine. Sodium metabisulphite is available in wine-making stores to sterilize and preserve homemade wine. A small amount added to the pressed juice will kill any alcohol-resistant mold that is on the fruit. It is used in almost all commercial wines, to prevent oxidation and preserve flavor. In fruit canning, sodium bisulfite is used to prevent browning (caused by oxidation) and to kill microbes.
