Sodium Metabisulfite Market Size, Share, Analysis and Forecast 2021-2026

 Overview for Sodium Metabisulfite Market

The inorganic compound sodium metabisulfite consists of sodium, sulphur, and oxygen. Sodium pyrosulfite is another name for the compound. Na?S?O? is the chemical formula. The powder form of sodium metabisulfite is available in white or yellowish-white tint. It has a unique rotten egg odour and is water soluble. Sodium metabisulfite is a good alternative for sodium bisulfite, a chemical used in traditional darkroom photography, because of its acidic and preservation qualities. In the creation of pulp and textiles, sodium metabisulfite is also used as a bleaching agent. In medicines, it also serves as a reducing agent. Cosmetics use it as a preservative. Sodium metabisulfite, in its concentrated form, has also been used as a tree stump remover in landscape gardening; it breaks down lignins, which are substances found in plant cell walls (in the tree stumps, making them easier to remove).

Disodium salt pyrosulfurous acid; sulphurous acid, disodium salt, pyrosulfurous acid, disodium salt; sodium disulfite; sodium pyrosulfite; and disodium disulfite are some of the chemical names for sodium metabisulfite.

Market Dynamics and Trends for Sodium Metabisulfite Market

When sodium metabisulfite is mixed with water, it produces sulphur dioxide (SO?). SO? is a gas having a disagreeable odour. Some people may experience a direct effect on their respiration. The use of sodium metabisulfite has been harmed as a result of this. For effective and odourless sterilisation of equipment storing foodstuff using sodium metabisulfite as a preservative, substances such as hydrogen peroxide (H?O?) have become more common. It is largely utilised in cosmetics and personal care products as a disinfectant, antioxidant, and preservative. It can also be used as a reducing agent, donating one hydrogen molecule to the cosmetics/personal care product in which it is kept.
