Sodium Bicarbonate CAS#144-55-8
Versatile Applications: Sodium bicarbonate is widely used in cooking, cleaning, and personal care due to its mild abrasiveness and acid-neutralizing properties.
Effervescent Formulation: It releases carbon dioxide when mixed with acids, making it essential in effervescent products and various industrial applications.
Safe and Stable: It is a stable, non-toxic substance, safe for household and industrial use, with low environmental impact.
pH Regulation: Sodium bicarbonate helps maintain an optimal pH range, supporting its function in various chemical and biological processes.
Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, is a white, odorless crystalline solid. It naturally occurs in the form of a mineral called nahcolite, which gets its name from its chemical formula by replacing the “3” in NaHCO3 with the suffix “lite.”
Sodium bicarbonate is widely used in various applications, such as in cooking, cleaning, and personal care products, due to its mild abrasive properties and ability to neutralize acids. It is also an important component in effervescent formulations, where it releases carbon dioxide when mixed with acids, making it useful in both household and industrial products.
