(SMBS)
Sodium Metabisulfiate(SMBS) is mainly used as reduction agent.
Furthermore, sodium metabisulfite is ideal for the bleaching of
vegetable fibers and textile, for the production of solutions,
which are used in the developing of photos and films as well as for
the treatment of tanning agents in dyeing of textiles. ChoiceChem
offers different grades’ sodium metabisulfite, all meeting highest
quality standards.

2. Application-Sodium Metabisulfiate(SMBS)
Industrial Uses |
Water Treatment | - Eliminating dissolved oxygen in waste water and in pipes;
- Cleaning water pipes and reverse osmosis membranes in
desalinization equipment as it is an antibacterial.
- Sodium metabisulfite is used in water treatment plants to
remove excess chlorine.
|
Bleaching Agent | - Sodium metabisulfite's functions as a bleaching agent, which
is useful in making paper pulp, cotton and wool.
|
Food Preservative |
Antimicrobial | - Sodium metabisulfite is commonly used as a food preservative for
dried foods, as well as fruit concentrate juices.
- Sodium metabisulfite acts as an antimicrobial, inhibiting the
growth of fungi and bacteria, thereby keeping food fresh and safe.
|
- In beer and wine manufacturing, sodium metabisulfite is
used as both a sterilizer and an antioxidant in the process of
brewing beer or fermenting wine.
|
Other Uses | |
Medicinal | - Sodium metabisulfite is an antioxidant additive in inject
able medicines and is also used as a reducing agent in
pharmaceuticals.
|
Photographic and film industry | - For preparing developer solutions, for acidifying fixing baths
(photo grade).
|
Landscape Gardening | - Sodium metabisulfite used in landscape gardening as a tree
stump remover, as it disintegrates the lignin -- chemicals in plant
cell walls -- in the tree stumps, making them easier to remove.
|
Fiber Industry | - In the sulphitisation of tanning extract.
|
Gold mining | - For bleaching ground wood, as an antichlor.
