Product Description

Sodium Dithionite, also known as sodium hydrosulphite, is a strong inorganic reducing agent supplied as a white to pale yellow crystalline powder. It reacts readily with oxidising agents and is highly soluble in water.

Our technical grade sodium dithionite meets stringent purity specifications and is supplied with a Certificate of Analysis. It is widely used across mining, textiles and chemical industries for its powerful reducing and bleaching properties.

Applications

  • Mineral flotation and ore processing
  • Selective depression of iron sulphide minerals
  • Textile bleaching and dyeing (reductive discharge)
  • Paper and pulp bleaching
  • Clay and kaolin whitening
  • Chemical synthesis as a reductant
  • Food processing (as an antioxidant in some applications)
  • Water treatment (dechlorination)
