Alkali Metal Salts

Sodium sulfite is used in the photography industry to protect developing solutions from oxidation, in the pulp and paper industry, in water treatment as an oxygen scavenger agent, as a desulfurizing and dechlorinating agent in the leather industry and as a bleaching agent in textile industry.

Sodium oxalate is used as a reducing agent, as a primary standard for standardizing potassium permanganate solutions and as a neutralizer for exothermic acidic reactions. It finds application in metal cleaning preparations, metal extraction and separation, blueprint coatings, electroplating baths,...

Potash is used in black/brown patina (copper, brass, bronze). Its use include decorative color effects on copper, brass, bronze and nickel. Sulfurated potash has been used in the treatment of acne and other skin disorders usually in the form of a lotion with zinc sulfate.

As a primary standard for preparing volumetric alkali solutions and as a buffer in pH determinations. Potassium hydrogen phthalate is used as a primary standard for acid- base titrations as well as for calibrating pH meters. It acts as a buffer in pH determination.

Cesium iodide is used as an input phosphor in x-ray image intensifier tube of fluoroscopy equipment. It is also used as an equipment for electromagnetic calorimetry in experimental particle physics. It is often employed as a beamsplitter in Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrometers.

Sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate acts as buffering capacity reagent in molecular biology, biochemistry and chromatography. It is used in the preparation of biological buffers. It is also used in the purification of antibodies, as a laxative and, in combination with other sodium phosphates This...

Potassium hydroxide acts as the precursor for most of the soft and liquid soaps, and for numerous potassium-containing chemicals. It is widely used in the manufacture of detergents, fertilizer, rayon, paper, dyestuffs, various drugs, drug intermediates, fine chemicals, and petroleum products.

Sodium hydrogen carbonate is used as a laboratory chemical, a leavening agent, a neutralizer, as an active component in fire extinguishers, as a source of carbon dioxide and pH balancer in pools, as a cattle feed supplement and in spas and garden ponds.

Sodium Phosphate Dibasic Anhydrous (White Granules or Powder)

Sodium acetate is usually used as buffering agent with acetic acid. It is used in many areas like cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, bronzing and textile industry. It is employed in production of dye materials, as a polymerization catalyst, as a polymer stabilizer, preparation of gel stains,...
