product description

Chemical Identity and Appearance: Sodium metabisulfite (CAS#7681-57-4) is an inorganic compound with the formula Na₂S₂O₅. It is typically supplied as a white crystalline powder. Purity and other quality parameters should be confirmed through the batch-specific certificate of analysis.


Odor and Handling Precautions: The material may have a pungent sulfur dioxide odor. Released sulfur dioxide can irritate the respiratory tract; avoid inhalation and use appropriate ventilation. Odor should not be used as a method of identification or a measure of safe exposure.


Thermal Decomposition: Sodium metabisulfite decomposes upon heating, releasing sulfur dioxide (SO₂). Contact with acids also releases SO₂ and requires appropriate handling controls.


Reducing Properties and Applications: Sodium metabisulfite is used as a reducing agent in chemical processing and in selected antioxidant, preservative, and bleaching applications. Suitability depends on the product grade, intended use, and applicable requirements.


Product Description of Sodium Metabisulfite CAS#7681-57-4

Sodium Metabisulfite (Na₂S₂O₅) is a white crystalline or powdery solid with a faint sulfur odor. It is toxic by inhalation and causes severe irritation to skin and mucosal tissues. At high temperatures, it decomposes, releasing toxic fumes of sulfur oxides and sodium oxide.


Product Application of Sodium Metabisulfite CAS#7681-57-4

Sodium Metabisulfite has strong reducing properties. It is widely used in the food industry as an antioxidant, preservative and bleaching agent for meat, wine, preserved fruits and other products. It is also extensively applied in textile printing and dyeing, papermaking and pulping, water treatment, leather softening and other chemical processes. In the pharmaceutical industry, it acts as a synthetic intermediate and an antioxidant for injectable preparations. Additionally, it is used in photography, rubber processing, agriculture and other fields. Notably, Sodium Metabisulfite releases toxic sulfur dioxide when contacting acids. It should be stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool and dry place, and kept away from acids and oxidizing agents.
