Sodium Chlorite

Sodium Chlorite (Solid Form)

Product Overview:

High-purity sodium chlorite in solid form presents as a white crystalline powder. This stable compound maintains its integrity under standard storage conditions (room temperature, dry environment) but requires strict segregation from acidic substances, reducing agents, and physical impact to prevent hazardous reactions. Contact with acids triggers rapid chlorine dioxide gas release, while improper handling may result in combustion or explosion risks.

Key Applications:

Primarily utilized in:

• Chlorine dioxide generation for industrial disinfection

• Textile and paper pulp bleaching processes

• Oil refining and petrochemical treatment

• Drinking water/wastewater purification systems

• Metal surface treatment and activation

Packaging & Labeling Specifications:

• Corrosion-resistant iron drums with double-layered polyethylene liners

• Net weight: 50 kg per drum (customizable quantities available)

• UN-certified hazardous material labeling

• Lot-specific batch coding for traceability
