Industrial Uses

1. Food & Healthcare Ingredients

  • pH Regulator: It is used to control the acidity and alkalinity in food formulations. This helps balance flavors and maintain the desired taste and texture.
  • Flavor Enhancer: Sodium bicarbonate helps reduce the sourness or acidity of some foods. It smoothens the overall flavor profile in beverages, candies, and other food products.

2. Pharmaceuticals

  • Antacid: Sodium bicarbonate is commonly used as an antacid to neutralize stomach acid. It provides relief from indigestion and heartburn.
  • Buffering Agent: It helps maintain the pH balance in medicinal products, especially in syrups, effervescent tablets, and other oral medications.
  • Alkalizing Agent: Sodium bicarbonate is used in certain pharmaceutical formulations to help raise pH levels, making them more effective in specific treatments.

3. Cleaning & Disinfectants Solutions

  • Surface Cleaner: Sodium bicarbonate is used as a mild abrasive cleaner. It is effective in scrubbing surfaces, removing stains, and cleaning kitchen appliances.
  • Odor Neutralizer: It helps neutralize odors by balancing pH and absorbing unpleasant smells, making it a common ingredient in air fresheners and deodorizing products.

4. Animal Healthcare

  • Source of Sodium and Bicarbonate: Sodium bicarbonate is used as a source of both sodium and bicarbonate in animal feed. It supports overall health and digestion in livestock.
  • pH Buffer for Ruminants: It helps regulate the pH levels in the stomach of ruminants, preventing acidosis and improving digestion.

5. Personal Care

  • Exfoliant: Sodium bicarbonate is used in facial scrubs and exfoliating products. Its mild abrasiveness helps remove dead skin cells and smoothen the skin’s surface.
  • pH Adjuster: It is used to adjust the pH of cosmetic products, ensuring they are neither too acidic nor too alkaline, making them gentle on the skin.

6. Water Treatment

  • pH Adjusters & Buffers : In water treatment processes, sodium bicarbonate is employed to neutralize acidic conditions, effectively raising the pH of water to desired levels. Its mild alkaline nature allows for precise pH adjustments, ensuring water safety and compliance with regulatory standards.
  • Coagulants & Flocculants : In water treatment facilities, sodium bicarbonate is utilized to optimize coagulation and flocculation processes. By adjusting pH to optimal ranges, it enhances the aggregation of fine particles, facilitating their removal and resulting in clearer, purified water.
