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.

Applications of Sodium Metal

Chemical Synthesis

• Used as a reducing agent in organic and inorganic reactions

• Produces sodium compounds such as sodium hydride, sodium alkoxides, and sodium cyanide

• Essential in pharmaceutical and fine chemical synthesis

Industrial & Metallurgical Applications

• Used in desulfurization and deoxidation of metals

• Acts as an intermediate in metallurgical processes

• Enhances reactivity and efficiency of industrial metal production

Laboratory Applications

• Commonly used in research and chemical experiments

• Requires careful handling under inert atmosphere or mineral oil
