Specialty oxidizing agents beyond the common hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorite families serve critical roles in water treatment, chemical processing, and industrial applications. These compounds—including bisulfites, thiosulfates, and chlorite compounds—provide precise oxidation control for demanding processes where standard oxidizers fall short.
Common Applications
-
Water Dechlorination: Sodium bisulfite and thiosulfate neutralize residual chlorine in municipal and industrial water systems
-
Pulp and Paper Processing: Chlorite compounds generate chlorine dioxide for selective bleaching without forming harmful organochlorines
-
Photography and Film Processing: Sodium thiosulfate serves as a fixing agent to remove unexposed silver halides
-
Chemical Synthesis: Controlled reduction reactions using bisulfite solutions in pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturing
-
Food Processing: Antioxidant applications and preservation using food-grade bisulfite formulations
-
Analytical Chemistry: Standardized solutions for iodometric titrations and redox analysis
Our full water treatment guide covers the specific roles these oxidizers play in municipal and industrial systems.
What We Carry
Alliance Chemical stocks both ACS reagent grade and technical grade formulations. Available products include Sodium Bisulfite (25% and 40% solutions), Sodium Thiosulfate (anhydrous crystals), and Sodium Chlorite Flakes (80% concentration). Solutions offer immediate use convenience, while solid forms provide longer shelf life and concentrated storage.
Available Pack Sizes
We supply from laboratory quantities (1-gallon containers) up to bulk industrial volumes (275-gallon totes and 55-gallon drums). This flexibility supports both R&D applications and continuous manufacturing processes.
