Applications
RXSOL CHEMICAL offers a wide range of sodium (metal) Sodium is used as a heat exchanger in reactors, and as a reagent in the chemicals industry. But sodium salts have more uses than the metal itself. The most common compound of sodium is sodium chloride (common salt). It is added to food and used to de-ice roads in winter.
Dosage and directions
SODIUM METAL AR Coated with Liquid paraffin, also known as paraffinum liquidum or Russian mineral oil, is a very highly refined mineral oil used in cosmetics and medicine.
Characteristics and notes
Sodium metal is highly reactive with water generating flammable hydrogen gas and sufficient heat to cause ignition. It is essential that sodium is stored so that it cannot come into contact with water, including moisture in the atmosphere. Sodium is usually supplied under paraffin oil or under kerosene.
Safety and SDS
Read the safety data sheet before handling. Wear suitable gloves and eye protection.
