SODIUM BICARBONATE (BAKING SODA) Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Sodium Bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, is a white, crystalline compound with the chemical formula NaHCO3. It is widely used in various household, industrial, and medical applications. In the food industry, Sodium Bicarbonate is used as a leavening agent in baking, providing carbon dioxide gas that helps dough rise. It is also employed as an antacid to relieve heartburn and indigestion. In cleaning, Sodium Bicarbonate is used as a mild abrasive and deodorizer, effectively removing stains and odors. It is also used in the formulation of certain fire extinguishers, providing a chemical reaction that helps to smother flames. Proper handling and storage of Sodium Bicarbonate are essential to maintain its quality and prevent moisture absorption. It is generally considered safe for consumption and use, although proper safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are essential to prevent irritation and other health hazards.
