Sodium Metabisulphite for Sale
Sodium Metabisulfite is a versatile inorganic chemical widely used as an antioxidant, preservative, bleaching agent, and reducing agent. It is available in food grade and industrial grade specifications to meet different application needs.
Features & Benefits
-
High Solubility: Dissolves quickly in water for efficient dosing.
-
Consistent Potency: High SO2 (Sulphur Dioxide) release capacity.
-
Certified Quality: Meets ISO 9001 and food safety (HACCP/FCC) standards.
-
Stable Shelf Life: Packaged in moisture-proof 25kg or 1000kg bags to prevent caking.
Key Applications of Sodium Metabisulfite
- Water Treatment & RO Membrane Dechlorination
- Function: Dechlorinating agent & disinfectant.
- Details: Removes residual free chlorine from feed water prior to Reverse Osmosis (RO) filtration systems to protect sensitive polyamide RO membranes from oxidative damage.
2. Food & Beverage Industry (E223 Preservative)
- Function: Antioxidant, preservative, and bleaching agent.
- Details: Inhibits enzymatic browning in dried fruits, potatoes, and seafood; prevents bacterial growth in wine fermentation and food processing under strict FCC guidelines.
3. Mining & Mineral Processing (Gold Extraction)
- Function: Cyanide destruction agent.
- Details: Widely used in the INCO sulfur dioxide/air process for cyanide detoxification in gold mining tailing facilities, ensuring safe and eco-friendly waste discharge.
4. Textile, Leather & Paper Manufacturing
- Function: Antichlor & bleaching agent.
- Details: Acts as an antichlor agent after bleaching wool and jute; used as a reducing agent in dye houses and leather tanning processes.
