Sodium Metal Extra Pure

Whatsapp Order

Sodium Metal Extra Pure is a highly reactive, silvery-white metallic solid used extensively in laboratories and industries as a strong reducing agent and reagent in chemical synthesis. It is essential for producing sodium-based compounds and drying solvents. Due to its pyrophoric nature, it must be stored and handled under inert conditions such as mineral oil to prevent spontaneous ignition. It has significant uses in pharmaceuticals, organic synthesis, and metal processing but requires strict safety protocols because of its reactivity with water and air.
