Sodium Metabisulphite Product Name: Sodium Metabisulphite (SMBS)CAS No: 7681-57-4.Chemical Formula: Na₂S₂O₅.Grade: Technical / Industrial / Food Grade (as required).Appearance: White to off-white. crystalline powder with slight sulfur odor.Packaging: HDPE bags / Drums / Jumbo Bags (customizable).
Product Description:Sodium Metabisulphite (SMBS) is a versatile inorganic chemical compound widely used across industries for its preservative, antioxidant, reducing, and dechlorinating properties. It appears as a white or off-white crystalline powder that is highly soluble in water and releases sulfur dioxide upon dissolution, which contributes to its effectiveness in many applications.
Key Features & Benefits:Strong Preservative & Antioxidant: Prevents oxidation, microbial growth, and color changes in food and beverage products. Effective Reducing Agent: Useful in chemical synthesis and industrial processing where reduction reactions are required. Powerful Dechlorinator: Neutralizes free chlorine in municipal and industrial water systems, protecting equipment and improving water quality. Versatile Industrial Chemical: Applicable in textiles, leather, pulp & paper, photography, and more. Available in Multiple Grades: Offered in technical, industrial, and certified food-grade variants to suit diverse requirements.
Applications:Food & Beverage:Used as a preservative and antioxidant in dried fruits, juices, frozen foods, and seafood processing to retain color and prevent spoilage. Commonly employed in wine and beer production to stabilize flavor and prevent oxidation. Water Treatment:Acts as a dechlorinating agent to remove chlorine and chloramine from drinking water and wastewater streams. Functions as an oxygen scavenger in boiler feedwater to prevent corrosion. Textile & Leather Processing:Utilized as a bleaching and reducing agent in dyeing, bleaching, and deliming processes. Chemical & Industrial Uses:Employed in chemical manufacturing, pulp & paper processing, photography for developer and fixer solutions, and other reduction-based applications. Pharmaceutical Industry:Acts as an antioxidant and preservative ingredient in certain pharmaceutical formulations and manufacturing processes.
Physical & Chemical Properties:Appearance: White/off-white crystalline powder. Molecular Weight: 190.10 g/mol. Solubility: Highly soluble in water. Odor: Slight sulfur dioxide smell.Non-flammable: Does not support combustion.
Storage & Handling:Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from moisture and strong oxidizing agents. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent degradation. Use appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, mask) during handling.
