YuXing supplies 99% industrial sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) for water treatment, flue-gas treatment, chemical processing and industrial formulations. Buyers can submit application, particle-size, packaging, quantity and destination requirements for specification review and a bulk export quotation.
This page describes industrial-grade sodium bicarbonate, also called sodium hydrogen carbonate or baking soda. Food-grade suitability is a separate purchasing requirement and must not be inferred from assay alone; any regulated application requires written grade confirmation and the applicable compliance documents.

Sodium Bicarbonate for Water Treatment
In water and wastewater treatment, sodium bicarbonate provides controlled alkalinity and pH buffering. Its milder alkalinity can be useful where gradual adjustment is preferred, but grade and dose must be selected from the actual water analysis and process target rather than from a universal dosage.
| Water-treatment objective | Role of NaHCO₃ | RFQ or trial information |
|---|---|---|
| Alkalinity addition | Adds bicarbonate alkalinity for process stability | Current and target alkalinity, flow rate and water chemistry |
| Controlled pH adjustment | Provides gentler buffering than stronger alkalis | Starting pH, target range, contact time and dosing system |
| Biological treatment support | Can supplement alkalinity consumed by biological reactions | Process type, loading, alkalinity demand and operating data |
For a water-treatment NaHCO₃ export inquiry, provide the required assay, particle size, order quantity, packaging, destination port and documentation needs. Compare related products in our water treatment chemicals and industrial alkalis ranges.
Industrial Grade vs Food Grade
Purity does not by itself establish product grade. Industrial-grade and food-grade sodium bicarbonate may have similar NaHCO₃ assay values but different impurity limits, manufacturing controls, testing, documentation and permitted uses. This page does not represent the listed industrial product as suitable for food, feed, pharmaceutical or other regulated use. State the required standard and end use when requesting a quotation.
Packaging, Export and Storage
- Packaging: bag size, palletization and container loading are confirmed according to order quantity and destination.
- Moisture control: keep bags closed and dry because moisture and compaction can affect flow and handling.
- Storage: store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from acids and incompatible materials.
- Shipment review: transport status, labels and destination requirements should be checked against the current SDS and applicable rules.
- Order documents: current specification, SDS and batch COA availability are coordinated during quotation and order review; public files are not final batch documents.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is industrial sodium bicarbonate used for?
Industrial sodium bicarbonate is used in selected flue-gas treatment systems, water-treatment processes, dry chemical fire-extinguishing formulations, chemical manufacturing and cleaning formulations.
Can YuXing supply sodium bicarbonate for water-treatment export orders?
YuXing can review industrial NaHCO₃ inquiries for water treatment based on the requested specification, particle size, quantity, packaging, destination and document requirements. Availability and shipment terms are confirmed for each quotation.
Is 99% sodium bicarbonate automatically food grade?
No. Assay alone does not establish food-grade suitability. Food applications require the relevant impurity limits, production controls, testing and compliance documents to be confirmed in writing.
How does sodium bicarbonate differ from soda ash?
Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO₃ and provides milder alkalinity. Soda ash is sodium carbonate, Na₂CO₃, and generally produces stronger alkalinity. Selection depends on the process, target pH and reaction conditions.
How does sodium bicarbonate differ from caustic soda?
Sodium bicarbonate is a mild alkaline salt used for controlled buffering, while caustic soda is a strong corrosive alkali. They are not interchangeable without process and safety review.
What is the HS code for sodium bicarbonate?
The international HS subheading is commonly 2836.30. National tariff codes may add more digits, so the final code should be verified for both export and destination customs.
Is sodium bicarbonate classified as dangerous goods?
Sodium bicarbonate is generally not classified as dangerous goods for transport. The current SDS, route, packaging and destination-country requirements should still be checked for each shipment.
How can I request a sodium bicarbonate quotation?
Provide the required grade, application, specification, quantity, packaging, destination port and document requirements through the contact form.
