Description

Sodium Bicarbonate CAS NO 144-55-8 is a versatile inorganic salt widely recognized for its buffering, leavening, and mild alkaline properties. Its high purity and consistent quality make it a critical raw material for industries where product safety and performance are non-negotiable. This essential compound is indispensable for manufacturers in the food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, personal care, animal nutrition, and chemical processing sectors.

Application

• Food & Beverage Production: Primarily used as a leavening agent in baked goods (baking soda), a pH regulator, and an effervescent source in beverages and dietary supplements.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in antacid and electrolyte replenishment formulations, and as an excipient in tablet manufacturing.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Incorporated into toothpaste for mild abrasion and pH control, and used in bath products, deodorants, and skin care formulations.
• Animal Nutrition: Utilized as a feed additive to support rumen health in livestock and as a buffering agent in poultry feed.
• Industrial & Chemical Processes: Acts as a mild alkali in dyeing and textile processes, a fire-extinguishing agent (dry chemical), a buffering agent in wastewater treatment, and a reagent in chemical synthesis.
• Environmental Applications: Employed in flue gas desulfurization to neutralize acidic emissions and in odor control systems.
