Sodium bicarbonate is a widely applied inorganic compound appearing as white, odorless crystalline powder with mild alkalinity. It is soluble in water and begins to decompose above 50°C, releasing carbon dioxide. The product is non-toxic, eco-friendly and non-corrosive.
We supply three grades — Food Grade, Industrial Grade and Feed Grade — all with a minimum purity of 99%. As a non-hazardous commodity, it features low logistics cost and simple customs clearance procedures. Our goods have been exported to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, South Africa, Europe and other regions for years.
2. Product Description & Key Selling Points

4. Applications
Food Grade Sodium Bicarbonate
- Food Processing: Classic leavening agent for bread, cakes, biscuits and pastries — releases CO₂ when heated for fluffy, crisp texture. Also used as a pH regulator for beverages, jams and dairy products.
- Fruit & Vegetable Cleaning: Effectively removes pesticide residues, dust and surface wax without leaving harmful substances.
- Daily Cleaning & Sanitation: Food-safe cleaner for kitchen utensils, tableware and oil stains — mild formula, no irritation.
- Food Preservation: Moisture-proof and fresh-keeping for milk powder, tea, biscuits and other dry goods.
Industrial Grade Sodium Bicarbonate
- Environmental Protection: Ultra-fine grade used for flue gas desulfurization in power plants, steel mills and waste incineration facilities; neutralizes acidic wastewater and removes heavy metal pollutants.
- Chemical Industry: Blowing agent for rubber and plastic products; neutralizing agent for dyes and pigments; basic raw material for chemical synthesis.
- Fire Protection: Core raw material of dry chemical fire extinguishers, applied in industrial fire prevention and forest fire control.
- Industrial Cleaning & Metal Treatment: Removes grease and scale from industrial equipment; used as an auxiliary agent for metal plating pre-treatment.
Feed Grade Sodium Bicarbonate
- Livestock Breeding: Feed additive that adjusts intestinal pH in poultry, cattle, sheep and pigs; improves feed utilization rate and prevents digestive diseases.
- Aquaculture: Regulates water pH and optimizes water quality; inhibits harmful bacteria and promotes healthy growth of fish, shrimps and crabs.
- Breeding Environment Improvement: Deodorizes livestock houses and aquaculture ponds, reducing harmful gases and building a healthier breeding environment.
Regional Matching
- Food Grade: Southeast Asia and the Middle East — preferred in 1kg, 5kg retail packs and 25kg industrial bags; LCL for trial orders.
