SODIUM BISULFATE OR BISULFITE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Sodium Bisulfate, also known as sodium hydrogen sulfate (NaHSO4), is a white, crystalline compound used in various industrial, chemical, and household applications. It is commonly used as a pH reducer in water treatment, swimming pools, and spas, helping to lower the pH levels and prevent the growth of algae and bacteria. In the food industry, Sodium Bisulfate is used as a leavening agent in baking and as a preservative to prevent browning and spoilage. It is also employed in the cleaning and descaling of metal surfaces, removing rust and mineral deposits. Proper handling and storage of Sodium Bisulfate are essential to prevent moisture absorption and maintain its quality. It is generally considered safe when used in regulated amounts, 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. Its versatility and effectiveness make Sodium Bisulfate a valuable chemical in numerous applications. Sodium Bisulfite (NaHSO3) is a related compound used in similar applications but with a slightly different chemical structure and properties.
