Exceptional Purity and Reliable CompositionOur Sodium Bicarbonate features an assay of 99.0 100.5% on a dried basis, ensuring highly consistent results for industrial and commercial use. Each batch adheres to strict standards for impurity limits, such as chlorides, sulphates, heavy metals, and iron, guaranteeing safety and dependability in your applications.
Versatile Applications Across IndustriesWidely used as a leavening agent, buffer, and cleaning substance, our sodium bicarbonate stands out for its adaptability. Its odourless, white crystalline appearance and solubility in water make it suitable for food processing, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and general manufacturing.
Optimal Storage and Long Shelf LifeSupplied in robust HDPE bags with inner liners, sodium bicarbonate maintains stability for up to two years when stored correctly. For best results, keep containers tightly closed in cool, dry, and well-ventilated places to preserve its quality and effectiveness.
FAQs of Sodium Bicarbonate:
Q: How should sodium bicarbonate be stored to maintain its quality?
A: Sodium bicarbonate should be stored in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location to maintain its purity and prevent moisture absorption. Proper storage extends its two-year shelf life and keeps its physical properties intact.
Q: What are the recommended uses for sodium bicarbonate supplied by Indian distributors?
A: This sodium bicarbonate is recommended for uses in food, pharmaceuticals, cleaning, water treatment, and various industrial processes due to its high purity (min 99%), lack of odour, and excellent solubility in water.
Q: When does sodium bicarbonate decompose, and what should be considered during processing?
A: Sodium bicarbonate decomposes above 50 C, releasing carbon dioxide. When using it in processes that involve heat, its important to control temperatures accordingly to prevent premature decomposition.
Q: Where can you source sodium bicarbonate in India, and what are the packaging options?
A: Sodium bicarbonate can be sourced from reputable distributors and suppliers across India. It typically comes packaged in 25 or 50 kg HDPE bags with protective inner liners to ensure stability during shipping and storage.
Q: What are the key benefits of using high-purity sodium bicarbonate in manufacturing?
A: High-purity sodium bicarbonate ensures consistent results, minimal impurities, and safety for sensitive applications. Its stable, odourless nature makes it ideal for food and pharmaceutical uses, with low levels of chlorides, sulphates, and heavy metals.
Q: How can sodium bicarbonate be dissolved for use, and are there solubility limitations?
A: Sodium bicarbonate readily dissolves in water, making it easy to use in solution form for most applications. However, it is insoluble in alcohol, so water should be used as the solvent of choice.
