1. Product Basic Information
| Item |
Details |
| English Name |
Sodium Hydrosulfite;Sodium Dithionite |
| Molecular Formula |
Na?S?O? |
| Molecular Weight |
174.11 g/mol |
| EC Number |
231-890-0 |
| UN Number |
1384 (Class 4.2, Self-Heating Substances) |
| Customs Code |
2831101000 |
| Appearance |
White to off-white crystalline powder with faint sulfur odor; soluble in water (250 g/L, 20°C), slightly soluble in ethanol; aqueous solution unstable, decomposes and generates heat when exposed to moisture |
| Core Composition |
Sodium Dithionite ≥85.0% (Iodometric), containing trace sulfate and sulfite impurities |
2. Physicochemical Properties
- Melting Point: >300°C (decomposition); Density: ~2.13 g/cm³ (20°C); Flash Point: Not available, liable to self-heat and ignite when moist/wetted; aqueous solution weakly acidic (pH 4-6)
- Key Indices: Assay ≥85.0%; Moisture ≤5.0%; Iron (Fe) ≤0.005%; Chloride (Cl?) ≤0.05%; Heavy Metals (Pb) ≤10 ppm
- Stability: Strong reducing agent; decomposes easily when exposed to oxygen, water, acid, heavy metal ions, releasing SO? and heat; may explode under high temperature or confined conditions; violent reaction with oxidants
- Toxicity: Rat oral LD?? ≈2500 mg/kg, low toxicity; dust irritates respiratory tract and skin; SO? decomposition product is toxic
3. Product Applications
- Textile Dyeing & Printing: Reducing agent for vat dyeing, fabric bleaching to remove residual dyes and impurities; bleaching of silk and wool without fiber damage
- Paper Industry: Pulp bleaching to replace chlorine and reduce pollution; deinking of waste paper to improve recycled paper whiteness
- Food Processing: Bleaching agent for sugar, candied fruits, glucose, etc., with maximum dosage in accordance with GB 2760; bleaching and antioxidant in starch and yuba processing
- Other Fields: Reducing agent for mineral processing; removal of heavy metal ions in water treatment; reducing reagent in organic synthesis

5. Safety and Protection
- Hazards: UN 1384, Class 4.2 self-heating substance; generates heat and ignites easily when moist/wetted; dust forms explosive mixture with air; SO? decomposition product is toxic and irritates mucous membranes; violent reaction with oxidants, strong acids and heavy metals
- Safety Phrases: S26 (Rinse eyes with plenty of water and seek medical advice); S36/37/39 (Wear protective clothing, gloves and goggles); S45 (Seek medical attention immediately in case of accident or fire)
- Protection Measures: Operate in dry and ventilated environment; wear dust mask, chemical-resistant gloves and goggles; prohibit mixing with water, acid and oxidants; add powder slowly to water when dissolving, never reverse
- First Aid: Rinse skin/eyes with clean water for 15 minutes if contacted; move to fresh air, supply oxygen and seek medical attention if inhaled; induce vomiting immediately (conscious state) if ingested, drink milk and seek medical attention
6. Storage and Transportation
- Storage: Seal and store in a dry and cool warehouse at ≤25℃, relative humidity ≤75%; nitrogen-filled sealed packaging; keep away from heat sources, open flames, oxidants, acids and heavy metal salts; shelf life: 6 months (sealed and dry)
- Transportation: Transport as UN 1384 Class 4.2 dangerous goods with ventilated containers; packaged in iron drums/aluminum foil bags (25 kg/drum); protect from sunlight, moisture and damage, strictly prohibit rain; handle with care during loading and unloading, avoid friction and impact
