Overview

About Sodium Metabisulphite in Australia

Sodium metabisulphite is a white crystalline powder that dissolves in water to release sulphur dioxide, acting as a reducing agent, antioxidant and preservative. It is used as a food preservative and antioxidant, a dechlorination agent in water treatment, an anti-chlor and bleaching aid in textiles and leather, and a reducing agent in process chemistry.

Zentish Exim supplies sodium metabisulphite sourced from qualified Indian producers, with certificates of analysis and safety data sheets. Food and technical grades are available. Because it releases sulphur dioxide and is an irritant, handling notes accompany every consignment.

Australia imports these materials for water treatment, mining, coatings and processing, with industrial introduction regulated under AICIS (formerly NICNAS). Sydney (Port Botany), Melbourne, Brisbane and Fremantle are the main ports; air freight runs 5-8 days and ocean 18-28 days.
