Sodium metabisulfite is an important chemical reagent with many effects and uses. It can be used in many fields such as water purification and preparation of dyes and medicines.
1. Purify water quality: Sodium metabisulfite can be used in the dechlorination reaction in the water treatment process to remove residual chlorine and odor in the water by reducing chloride and improve the quality of the water.
2. Preparation of dyes and drugs: Sodium metabisulfite is an important reducing agent in the preparation process of dyes and drugs. It can be used to reduce the oxides of dyes and drugs, thereby reducing them to colored or active compounds.
3. Other uses: Sodium metabisulfite can also be used in the production of paper, rubber, plastics, fertilizers and other industries, and can also be used as a developer for silver salt photography.
Domestic sodium metabisulfite prices continued to be weak this week, with the average price of industrial grade sodium metabisulfite falling by 5.76% during the week.
Suppressed by the continued decline in upstream raw material prices, companies have lowered the outlet price of sodium metabisulfite again this week. The company’s inventory is about 30%, and companies mainly complete orders from old customers. (The above prices refer to the external quotations of domestic mainstream enterprises. Some unreported enterprises are temporarily outside the scope. The prices are for reference only and have nothing to do with the final pricing of the manufacturers. Please contact each manufacturer for details).
As of March 8, upstream soda ash prices fell by 6.85% during the month, and sulfur prices fell by 0.33%. The continued weakness in raw material prices will further suppress the domestic sodium metabisulfite market price in the future.
Market outlook forecast
Costs continue to be weak, and the domestic market price of sodium metabisulfite will continue to be under pressure in the short term.
