Overview
Sodium Bicarbonate (CAS 144-55-8) is one of the salts & minerals products Suraj Chemicals supplies to industrial, institutional and manufacturing buyers across India from our Chennai base. It is commonly used for ph buffering in water and wastewater treatment; flue-gas and exhaust-gas acid neutralization; food and pharmaceutical-grade raw material (food grade available separately), among other applications in the salts & minerals category. We pack Sodium Bicarbonate in 25/50 kg bags; bulk supply on request, and can arrange bulk, drum or tanker quantities for larger requirements — full characteristics, applications and downloadable documentation are below, or you can request a quote directly.
