Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda or metha soda, is a highly versatile and widely used chemical compound with the formula NaHCO₃. Packaged in a 25kg bag, Sodium Bicarbonate LCI (Metha Soda) is ideal for industrial, commercial, and household applications. Its non-toxic nature, along with its mild alkaline properties, makes it a valuable ingredient in numerous industries, from food processing and cleaning to pharmaceuticals and chemical manufacturing.

Key Features:

• Purity and Quality: Sodium Bicarbonate LCI (Metha Soda) is produced to high standards of purity, ensuring consistent performance across various applications. Its fine, crystalline powder form makes it easy to handle and dissolve, providing reliable results in both industrial and household uses.
• pH Regulator: Due to its mild alkaline nature, sodium bicarbonate is widely used as a pH regulator in various processes, including water treatment, food production, and pharmaceuticals. It helps neutralise acids, making it essential for applications that require controlled pH levels.
• Odour Neutraliser: Sodium bicarbonate effectively neutralises odours, making it an ideal ingredient in cleaning products, air fresheners, and personal care items. Its ability to absorb and eliminate unpleasant smells is one of the reasons it’s commonly used in household and industrial cleaning.
• Versatile Cleaning Agent: In addition to odour control, sodium bicarbonate is a mild abrasive, making it useful for cleaning surfaces without causing damage. It’s often used in household cleaners, industrial cleaning solutions, and even as a gentle exfoliant in personal care products.
• Leavening Agent: In the food industry, sodium bicarbonate is a key ingredient in baking as a leavening agent. When combined with an acid, it releases carbon dioxide, causing doughs and batters to rise and create a light, fluffy texture in baked goods.
• Eco-Friendly Option: Sodium bicarbonate is an environmentally friendly compound, biodegradable and non-toxic, making it a safe choice for use in a wide range of applications without harming the environment.

Applications:

Sodium Bicarbonate LCI (Metha Soda) 25kg is suitable for a wide variety of applications, including:
