Overview of Sodium Metal
Sodium Metal (Na) is a highly reactive alkali metal widely used in chemical synthesis, industrial manufacturing, and laboratory applications. It is a soft, silver-white metal that reacts vigorously with water and must be handled under controlled conditions. Sodium Metal is valued for its strong reducing properties, reactivity, and role as a key intermediate in chemical processes.
In industrial applications, Sodium Metal is used in organic and inorganic synthesis, chemical reduction reactions, pharmaceutical intermediates, and metallurgical processes. It is often combined with other industrial raw materials available on ChemicalBull, such as Iron Powder, Zinc Dust, Magnesium Sulphate, Tin Powder, and Titanium, enabling manufacturers to develop high-purity, reactive, and efficient chemical processes.
