Soda Powder Sodium Bicarbonate
Products Description
Sodium bicarbonate, chemical formula: NaHCO₃, commonly known as baking soda, white fine crystals, white alkaline powder easily soluble in water, no change in dry air, slowly decomposed in humid air to release carbon dioxide. Sodium bicarbonate can be directly used as a raw material in the pharmaceutical industry for the treatment of hyperacidity. It can also be used in film production, tanning, mineral processing, smelting, metal heat treatment, and in fiber and rubber industries. At the same time, it is used as a detergent for wool, as well as for agricultural seed soaking.

Benefits
- Antacid: Sodium bicarbonate can neutralize stomach acid and relieve symptoms such as heartburn and indigestion.
- Cleaning Agent: Due to its mild abrasive properties, sodium bicarbonate can be used as a cleaning agent to remove dirt and stains while neutralizing odors.
- Food additive: In baking, sodium bicarbonate acts as a leavening agent to help the dough expand and make baked goods softer.
- pH Regulator: In swimming pools and aquariums, sodium bicarbonate can help maintain a stable pH level and ensure healthy water quality.
- Personal Care: Commonly used in toothpaste and deodorants, it has the effect of removing odor.
Application
- Baking: As a leavening agent, it is often used in baked goods such as bread, cakes and biscuits.
- Medical: Used to relieve discomfort caused by excessive stomach acid and as an antacid.
