Industrial Sodium Metabisulfite Low Fe ≤0.003% Textile Bleaching
Sodium Metabisulfite, commonly known as SMBS or by its chemical formula Na2S2O5, is a versatile and widely used chemical compound with numerous industrial and commercial applications. This product is supplied in a quantity of 25-27 metric tons per 1*20′GP container, making it suitable for large-scale use and distribution. Sodium Metabisulfite is classified as a non-hazardous chemical, which simplifies its handling, storage, and transportation requirements compared to more dangerous substances.
The product is packaged carefully in plastic woven bags equipped with a PE liner to ensure maximum protection during transit and storage. This packaging method helps to maintain the integrity and quality of the Sodium Metabisulfite by protecting it from contamination, moisture, and physical damage. The PE liner inside the woven bags acts as an additional barrier against moisture ingress, which is crucial for a chemical like Na2S2O5, as exposure to moisture can lead to degradation or clumping of the product.
Regarding storage conditions, Sodium Metabisulfite should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keeping the product away from moisture is essential to preserve its effectiveness and prevent any unwanted chemical reactions. A well-ventilated storage environment also helps in reducing the risk of dust accumulation and ensures a safer workplace. Proper storage not only maintains product quality but also extends the shelf life of SMBS, making it a cost-effective solution for various industries.
The granularity of this Sodium Metabisulfite product ranges between 80-100 mesh, which refers to the particle size distribution. This fine granularity allows for easy dissolution and rapid reaction rates when used in applications such as water treatment, food preservation, and photographic processing. The mesh size ensures that the Na2S2O5 powder can be uniformly distributed in solutions, enhancing its efficiency and performance in different processes.
Sodium Metabisulfite (SMBS) is widely recognized for its antioxidant and preservative properties. It is commonly used as a reducing agent in chemical manufacturing, a bleaching agent in the textile and paper industries, and a disinfectant in water treatment. Additionally, Na2S2O5 is utilized in the food industry as a preservative to prevent spoilage and discoloration in dried fruits, beverages, and other food products.
In the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, Sodium Metabisulfite is employed for its antioxidant properties, helping to stabilize formulations and prevent oxidation of active ingredients. The chemical's versatility and effectiveness have made it an essential ingredient in many industrial processes, enhancing product quality and operational efficiency.

Applications:
In the food and beverage industry, SMBS is commonly used as a preservative and antioxidant to prevent discoloration and spoilage in products such as dried fruits, wines, and juices. Its ability to inhibit microbial growth makes it an essential additive for extending shelf life and maintaining product quality during storage and transportation. Additionally, it is employed in the brewing industry to control oxidation and bacterial contamination, ensuring the consistency and safety of the final product.
Water treatment is another critical application area for Sodium Metabisulfite. It serves as a reducing agent to remove excess chlorine and chloramine from drinking water and wastewater, protecting aquatic life and improving water quality. This application is especially relevant in industrial water treatment plants where maintaining non-toxic water is essential.
In the textile and paper industries, SMBS acts as a bleaching agent and antioxidant. It helps in dechlorination and prevents color fading, which is crucial for producing high-quality textiles and paper products. Moreover, Sodium Metabisulfite is used in photography chemicals and as a reagent in chemical synthesis, where its reducing properties facilitate various chemical reactions.
Despite being classified as a non-hazardous chemical, it is important to handle Sodium Metabisulfite with care. It is an irritant to the eyes, respiratory system, and skin, necessitating appropriate protective measures during its use. Due to its irritant nature, workplaces using SMBS must ensure adequate ventilation and provide personal protective equipment to safeguard workers' health.
