Analysis Methods

The indicated values are determined according to our Standard Analysis method, which can be produced on request. Test Method used: IS11752 BIS 1986

Standard Packing

25 Kg Polypropylene Woven / paper bags with heat sealed inner liner.

500 Kg and 1000 Kg Jumbo Bags.

Storage & Handling

Store the product in a cool & and dry place. It absorbs moisture & oxidizes if container is not kept tightly closed. If heated over 60 o C, SO 2 is evolved, forming Sodium Sulphite.

For more information kindly refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet.
