Understanding the properties and safe handling of industrial chemicals is paramount for operational safety and product quality. Sodium Metabisulfite, a widely used compound, possesses distinct characteristics that necessitate careful handling and storage. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. emphasizes the importance of these aspects for our clients. Sodium Metabisulfite typically appears as a white crystalline powder with a characteristic sulfurous odor. It is soluble in water, forming an acidic solution. Chemically, it acts as a strong reducing agent and is sensitive to moisture and air, which can lead to its slow oxidation to sodium sulfate. It decomposes upon heating, releasing toxic fumes of sulfur oxides. Due to its chemical nature, Sodium Metabisulfite can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Inhalation of dust can cause respiratory distress, and contact with skin or eyes may lead to irritation. Therefore, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, eye protection, and respiratory masks, should be used when handling it. Working in well-ventilated areas is also crucial to mitigate exposure to released sulfur dioxide gas. Proper storage is essential to maintain the efficacy and safety of Sodium Metabisulfite. It should be stored in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Exposure to moisture should be minimized to prevent degradation. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. is committed to providing comprehensive product information and supporting safe chemical management practices. We ensure that our Sodium Metabisulfite products meet high-quality standards, and we offer guidance on their proper handling and storage to ensure optimal performance and safety for all our customers.
