Sodium Chlorite Flakes 80% - ACS Grade

Product Overview

Sodium Chlorite Flakes 80% - ACS Grade (NaClO₂) is a high-purity, stable white crystalline compound specifically formulated for critical oxidizing applications. As an ACS-grade material, it is specified at an 80% assay via titration methods, ensuring strict adherence to American Chemical Society standards for reagent chemicals. This level of purity ensures reproducible performance in analytical chemistry, research synthesis, and water treatment processing where contaminant interference must be minimized.

Industrial buyers and laboratory professionals utilize this grade as a primary precursor for the generation of chlorine dioxide, a potent oxidizing agent used in bleaching and water process applications. The material is manufactured under controlled conditions to limit impurities such as chlorides, nitrates, and heavy metals. It is compatible with HDPE and glass storage and serves as a reliable oxidant for chemical formulations requiring documented quality assurance.

Safety Precautions

Sodium Chlorite is a strong oxidizer and must be handled with strict adherence to safety protocols. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and combustible materials. Do not store near strong acids, reducing agents, or organic materials, as contact may cause dangerous reactions.

Personnel should wear full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and respiratory protection to avoid dust inhalation or contact with skin and eyes. Refer to the product Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling instructions, spill containment procedures, and emergency response guidelines.
