Metabisulphite 25kg"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Sodium Metabisulphite 25kg<\/p>\n<p>A 25kg bag of Sodium Metabisulphite is used across industries as a powerful preservative, antioxidant, and disinfectant, crucial in food &amp; beverage (wine, dried fruit, seafood), water treatment (dechlorination), textiles\/pulp (bleaching), photography, and cosmetics, working by releasing sulfur dioxide to stop microbial growth and oxidation. <\/p>\n<p>Key Uses by Industry: <\/p>\n<p>Food &amp; Beverage: Prevents spoilage, discoloration (anti-melanosis in seafood), and oxidation in juices, wines, beers, and dried fruits.<br \/> Water Treatment: Neutralizes chlorine and chloramines, making water safe for use or consumption.<br \/> Textile &amp; Pulp: Acts as a bleaching agent and reduces chemicals in processing.<br \/> Photography: Used in traditional film development processes.<br \/> Cosmetics: Functions as a preservative and antioxidant in various formulations.<br \/> Pharmaceuticals: Serves as a preservative and reducing agent in some medical products.<br \/> Sugar Industry: Bleaches raw and brown sugars. <\/p>\n<p>How It Works:When mixed with water, it releases sulfur dioxide, a gas that inhibits bacteria and fungi, and prevents oxidation, effectively preserving products and sanitizing surfaces. <\/p>\n<p>Important<br \/> Considerations: Safety: Can cause allergic reactions in sulfite-sensitive individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Handling: Releases sulfur dioxide, requiring ventilation.Material Compatibility: Use glass or plastic containers for solutions, as it corrodes metal. <\/p>\n<p>Sodium Metabisulphite 25kg<\/p>\n<p>Sodium Metabisulphite or sodium pyrosulphate) is an inorganic compound of chemical formula Na2S2O5.<\/p>\n<p>The substance is sometimes
