For professionals in the water treatment industry, a deep understanding of chemical specifications is paramount to ensuring the efficacy and safety of treatment processes. Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is a key player, and knowing its precise characteristics helps optimize its application. As a chemical manufacturer specializing in water treatment solutions, we emphasize the importance of these technical details.

The chemical formula for Sodium Bicarbonate is NaHCO3. Purity is a critical specification, especially for water treatment applications. Our industrial-grade Sodium Bicarbonate typically boasts a purity of 99% min for NaHCO3. Impurities are also strictly controlled, with maximum allowable limits for substances like Lead (Pb) and Arsenic (As) kept very low, often in the parts per million range (e.g., 0.0005% max for Pb, 0.0001% max for As). These low impurity levels are vital to prevent introducing undesirable contaminants into the water system.

Physical appearance is another important characteristic; Sodium Bicarbonate is almost universally supplied as a white crystalline powder. The particle size distribution can also be significant, impacting dissolution rates and handling. While not always explicitly stated in basic product listings, consistency in particle size ensures predictable performance, especially in automated dosing systems. When you purchase Sodium Bicarbonate from us, you can rely on uniform physical properties.

The pH of a Sodium Bicarbonate solution is indicative of its alkaline nature. When dissolved in water, it creates an alkaline substance with a pH typically above 7, commonly ranging from 8.0 to 8.5 depending on concentration. This property is central to its function as a pH buffer and alkalizer in water treatment. The density, approximately 2.20 g/cm³, and its solubility in water are also relevant for formulation and application calculations.

For many water treatment professionals, understanding the HS Code (Harmonized System Code) is also important for international trade and logistics. For Sodium Bicarbonate, this is typically 28363000. Knowing these specifications allows you to accurately compare products from different suppliers and ensure you are buying the most suitable chemical for your needs.
