SODIUM BI SULPHATE

Product Description

Sodium Bisulfate, also known as Sodium Hydrogen Sulfate, isan inorganic compound that occurs as a white, crystalline powder or granules.It is produced by the reaction of sulfuric acid with sodium chloride (salt) orsodium sulfate.

The primary application of Sodium Bisulfate is in watertreatment and sanitation processes. It is widely used as a pH reducer andacidifier in swimming pools, spas, and municipal water treatment facilities.Sodium Bisulfate effectively lowers the pH of water, neutralizing alkalinityand preventing scale formation.

In addition to its role in water treatment, Sodium Bisulfateis utilized in cleaning products and detergents as a descaler and pH adjuster.It helps to remove mineral deposits (scale) from surfaces and equipment,improving cleaning efficiency.

Sodium Bisulfate is also used in the food and beverageindustry as an acidulant and preservative. It is added to processed foods,beverages, and animal feed to adjust pH levels, enhance flavors, and extendshelf life. Sodium Bisulfate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use infood applications when used according to regulatory guidelines.

Furthermore, Sodium Bisulfate is employed in metal finishingprocesses, such as pickling and cleaning of metal surfaces to remove rust andscale. It serves as a catalyst and reagent in chemical synthesis and as anelectrolyte in electroplating processes.

Sodium Bisulfate should be handled with care due to itsacidic nature. Direct contact with skin, eyes, or mucous membranes can causeirritation. Proper ventilation, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)such as gloves and goggles, and safe handling practices are essential whenworking with Sodium Bisulfate to minimize risks and ensure safety.
