Product Description

Sodium Chlorite is a strong oxidising chemical supplied as a white to pale yellow crystalline powder or flake. It is the precursor to chlorine dioxide (ClO₂), which is generated on-site by acidification or reaction with chlorine, making it a highly effective and versatile biocide and bleaching agent.

Our sodium chlorite is manufactured to a minimum purity of 80% and is widely used across mining, water treatment, and industrial sectors. Supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis for quality assurance and traceability.

Applications

  • Generation of chlorine dioxide for water treatment and disinfection
  • Mining process water treatment and biofouling control
  • Textile bleaching and pulp processing
  • Industrial surface disinfection and sanitation
  • Odour control in wastewater systems
  • Microbial control in cooling water systems
  • Food processing equipment sanitation (dilute solutions)
  • Oil and gas water injection treatment
