Applications
Sodium Bicarbonate is used in a variety of industrial and personal care and food applications depending on the grade, it’s used as a food additive in cake, pancake, baking powders and ready-mixes; candy; catalyst manufacture; fire extinguishers; food colors; food conditioner; paper making; excipient pharmaceuticals; self-rising flours; starches; sugar refining; textiles. It’s used in personal care products like deodorant and bath bombs. Sodium Bicarbonates Industrial applications range from leather tanning; oil well drilling fluids and fire extinguishers. Its also used in animal feed and as a analytical reagent.
