Sodium sulfite

Sodium sulfite is an inorganic salt that is primarily used in industry as an oxygen scavenger, reducing agent, and preservative. The product is used, among other things, in water treatment, paper production, textile processes, and various chemical manufacturing steps where controlled reduction or removal of dissolved oxygen is required.

In boiler water and process water treatment, sodium sulfite helps bind dissolved oxygen, thereby reducing corrosion in pipes, tanks, and equipment. It is also used in pulp and paper applications, in photographic and chemical processes, and as a technical additive in formulations where a stable and predictable reaction is desired.

Sodium sulfite is characterized by its high solubility in water and its effective reducing action. These properties make it suitable for processes in which product quality, equipment protection, and control of oxidative influences are important. To ensure safe and consistent use, proper dosing, product specifications, and storage conditions are essential in any industrial environment.
