Rongalite (SFS) [MC-RM-AC-011]

Product Description

Rongalite (SFS), chemically known as Sodium Formaldehyde Sulfoxylate, is a commonly used reducing agent widely applied in the chemical industry, textile dyeing, and dye synthesis, among other fields. It is primarily used as a reducing agent in various chemical reactions, especially in dye reduction reactions. Below is a detailed explanation of Rongalite (SFS):

Basic Information:
  • Chemical Formula: NaHSO₂ or NaOH·CH₂O·SO₂
  • Molecular Weight: 126.1 g/mol
  • Appearance: Typically a white or grayish-white crystalline powder, sometimes available in granular or block form.
  • Solubility: Soluble in water, and its solution is acidic.
Physical and Chemical Properties:
  • Strong Reducing Power: Rongalite has strong reducing properties, capable of reducing certain metal ions, such as those of chromium and molybdenum, from their higher oxidation states.
  • Acidic Solution: Its water solution is acidic and can dissolve some metal oxides.
  • Relatively Unstable: Rongalite is relatively unstable in moisture or air and tends to decompose. Therefore, it must be stored and transported in sealed, dry conditions.
Main Applications:
  1. Textile and Dyeing Industry:
    • Reduction Dyes: Rongalite is commonly used in the dyeing process of reduction dyes, especially for the reduction and dyeing of disperse dyes.
    • De-colorizing: It can also serve as a decolorizing agent in textiles, removing or lightening color from fabrics.
  2. Chemical Reduction Reactions:
    • Rongalite is often used as a reducing agent in chemical synthesis, particularly in the reduction of aldehydes, nitro compounds, and other similar compounds.
    • It is also used in some metal surface treatments and catalyst synthesis to reduce metal ions.
  3. Pulp and Paper Industry:
    • In the paper bleaching process, Rongalite is used as a reducing agent to remove certain oxidized compounds, thereby improving the whiteness of paper.
  4. Pharmaceutical and Cosmetics Industries:
    • Reduction Reactions: Rongalite is used in some pharmaceutical synthesis reactions, especially for the reduction of certain chemicals that require reduction for production.
  5. Environmental Protection:
    • Wastewater Treatment: Rongalite is used in the treatment of wastewater containing heavy metals, as it can reduce metal ions and help remove pollutants from water.
Safety and Precautions:
  • Irritant: Rongalite is a chemical substance with a certain level of irritancy, particularly at high concentrations. It can irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Protective gloves and goggles should be worn during handling.
  • Storage Conditions: Rongalite should be stored in a dry, cool place and protected from exposure to air, as it is prone to absorbing moisture and decomposing. Sealed storage is an effective way to prevent degradation.
