Sodium bicarbonate

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a white crystalline substance or powder that dissolves readily in water. Its aqueous solution exhibits weak alkalinity and decomposes easily when heated, releasing carbon dioxide. It finds extensive applications in food (as a leavening agent), cleaning (for grease removal), medicine (to neutralize stomach acid), and aquaculture (for water quality regulation).
As a specialized supplier, we offer tiered solutions: providing food-grade, industrial-grade, and other specifications with purity exceeding 99.5%. Available in 25kg bags, bulk bags, and tanker truck shipments.
Comprehensive service includes sample provision and a dedicated technical support team with 24-hour response to resolve application challenges.

Basic Properties


1. Physical Properties

Appearance: White, fine crystals or white powder. Odorless, with a slightly salty taste and a bitter sensation.

Solubility: Easily soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol. Solubility in water at 20°C is approximately 9.6 g/100 mL. The aqueous solution is weakly alkaline (pH approximately 8.3).

Density is approximately 2.20 g/cm³. It lacks a distinct melting point and decomposes directly upon heating rather than melting.

2. Chemical Properties

Molecular formula: NaHCO₃; molecular weight: 84.01. Classified as an acid carbonate with amphoteric characteristics.

Decomposes readily upon heating, initiating reaction above 50°C. At 270°C, it completely decomposes into sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide, and water.

It reacts with acids to form corresponding sodium salts, water, and carbon dioxide—e.g., reacting with hydrochloric acid produces abundant bubbles. It also reacts with bases to form normal salts and water.

3. Stability

It remains stable in dry, cool conditions and does not readily undergo changes.

It slowly decomposes when exposed to moist air or water and readily absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Long-term storage may cause partial deterioration.

Main Applications


1. Food Industry: Safe Functional Additive

As a leavening agent in baked goods like steamed buns, bread, and cookies, it decomposes upon heating to produce carbon dioxide, creating a light, porous texture.

As an acidity regulator in beverages and jams, it neutralizes sourness and enhances palatability; also used in cured meats to tenderize and improve flavor.

2. Cleaning Sector: Natural Detergent

Used in household cleaning to remove grease and limescale, such as wiping stovetops and cleaning sinks, with a gentle formula that won't damage surfaces.

Used in laundry care to soften water, enhance detergent effectiveness, and remove sweat stains and mildew spots from clothing.

3. Medical Applications: Essential Medicinal Ingredient

As an antacid, it relieves stomach pain and heartburn caused by excess stomach acid by neutralizing excess gastric acid.

In oral care, it reduces plaque as a toothpaste ingredient or can be formulated into a mouthwash solution to alleviate mild oral inflammation.

4. Industrial and Agricultural Applications: Functional Raw Material

Industrially used in rubber and plastic production as a foaming agent; also employed in water treatment to adjust pH levels.

Agriculturally applied to improve acidic soils or as a feed additive for livestock and poultry to regulate intestinal pH balance.

Safety Precautions


1. Safety Precautions

Food-grade baking soda must strictly adhere to the GB 1886.2-2021 limit standards; do not exceed recommended usage amounts. Industrial-grade products are strictly prohibited for use in food or pharmaceutical applications.

Wear dust masks during handling to prevent prolonged inhalation of powder causing mild respiratory discomfort. Wash skin immediately after contact to avoid dryness and irritation.

Avoid mixing large quantities with acidic substances (e.g., vinegar, hydrochloric acid) to prevent rapid carbon dioxide gas production causing container expansion.

2. Storage Safety

Store in a dry, well-ventilated, cool location. Keep packaging sealed to prevent moisture absorption and caking, which may compromise effectiveness.

Store separately from strong acids, oxidizing agents, and other chemicals to avoid unintended chemical reactions.

Clearly label packaging as “Food Grade” or “Industrial Grade” to prevent misuse. Keep out of reach of children.

3. Emergency Response

If powder is inhaled, immediately move to fresh air. Seek medical attention promptly if coughing or chest tightness occurs.

If powder enters eyes, flush with copious amounts of running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

If industrial-grade baking soda is ingested, or if food-grade baking soda is taken in excessive amounts, drink warm water immediately and seek medical attention with the product label.
