Product Specifications

Sodium Bicarbonate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaHCO₃ and CAS Number 144-55-8. It is commonly supplied as a white crystalline powder with no odour and is moderately soluble in water. It produces mildly alkaline aqueous solutions and reacts with acids to release carbon dioxide gas.

Sodium Bicarbonate is valued for its buffering and neutralising properties and its ability to regulate pH in aqueous solutions. Common laboratory applications include the preparation of buffer solutions, pH adjustment, acid-base reactions, analytical chemistry procedures, and research involving bicarbonate and carbonate compounds. It is also used in biochemical research, microbiological applications, food-related laboratory testing, and various specialised industrial formulations.

Its buffering properties and chemical characteristics make Sodium Bicarbonate useful in analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, and general laboratory research. Different grades and purities are available, and the appropriate grade should be selected according to the requirements of the intended application, particularly where analytical accuracy or specialised research applications are involved.

KSFE Malaysia supplies laboratory chemicals and scientific products for research institutions, educational facilities, and general laboratory applications.

Safety Note: Sodium Bicarbonate is generally considered to have low toxicity under normal laboratory handling conditions. However, excessive dust may cause irritation to the eyes and respiratory tract. Avoid unnecessary dust formation and inhalation, and prevent direct contact with the eyes. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow the supplier's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for proper handling, storage, and disposal.
