Product Description
Sodium Metabisulphite (SMBS) is a high‑purity preservative, antioxidant, reducing agent, and oxygen scavenger. It is commonly used in water treatment, textiles, pulp & paper, cleaning formulations, chemical processing, photography, and industrial applications. Its strong reducing properties make it effective for dechlorination, oxygen removal, and process stabilization.
