Manufactured using sea salt, ammonia, and carbonic acid.  Also found in nature, it is biodegradable and environment friendly.  Commonly referred to as a \"buffer\" because if stabilises a solutions' pH level at around 8.1.  This characteristic is why Sodium Bicarbonate is such a common ingredient in many applications to diminish acidity, prevent corrosion, and neutralise acidic substances (for instance the venom of insects such as mosquitoes).  Water's hardness is determined by the quantity of calcium and magnesium ions present and can easily be tested by its capacity to rinse soap and cook vegetables. Lime deposits are avoided when Sodium Bicarbonate is dissolved in the water, then the calcium ions do not separate into lime (calcium carbonate) which reduces the use of soap and detergent.  Neutralizes and absorbs odors rather than masking an odor.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAPPEARANCE:\u003c\/strong\u003e crystalline, powder\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePHYSICAL STATE:\u003c\/strong\u003e solid\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e slight alkaline taste\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMICRON SIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e 45 micron (average 73% retained (min 60%, max 100%) when passed through a 325 mesh)\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 75 micron (average 36% retained (min 20%, max 45%) when passed through a 200 mesh)\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 150 micron (average 0.3% retained (min 0%, max 2%) when passed through a 100 mesh)\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLOSS ON DRYING:\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u0026lt;0.025%\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eODOR:\u003c\/strong\u003e none, odorless\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.4 (ca.8.4 g\/L) (77F\/25C) and 8.6 (ca.52 g\/L), pKa: 6.3 (therefore, a realatively weak acid)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMAXIMUM USE LEVEL:\u003c\/strong\u003e  200mg\/L\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBICARBONATE (NaHCO3):\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimum 99% Bicarbonate (NaHCO3), average of \u0026gt;99%\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMELTING POINT:\u003c\/strong\u003e decomposes on heating beginning at \u0026gt;122F\/50C\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFLAMMABILITY:\u003c\/strong\u003e non-flammable\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSOLUBILITY:\u003c\/strong\u003e insoluble in Alcohol, soluble in water:\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e69 g\/L (32F\/0C),\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e93 g\/L (68F\/20C)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e165 g\/L (140F\/60C)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDENSITY:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.21 kg\/dm3 (Bulk is 0.5-1.3 kg\/dm3)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMAXIMUM USE LEVEL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 mg\/L\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOD SAFE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHALAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSUITABLE FOR VEGETARIANS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOD PREPARATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e leavening agent, acidic\/base odor control, slightly abrasive dissolving prior to surface damage, assists the elimination of impurities when washing fruit\/vegetables, heightens vegetable colors, tenderizes meats, neutralizes tomato acidity, cheese making (less rennet needed), buffering agent in energy drinks, helps maintain firmness of canned fruit\/vegetables, corrects mineral deficiencies in the water used to ensure uniform taste in beverages.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGLUTEN FREE FOOD PREPARATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e leavening agent, acid\/pH control.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOSMETIC APPLICATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e bath bombs, scrubs, pastes, foaming agent, effervescent powders\/tablets, ddor control, delicate yet slightly abrasive dissolving prior to surface damage, make a paste and apply to soften and eliminate calluses, dissolve in warm bath water to soften skin and helps to gently remove dead skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCLEANING:\u003c\/strong\u003e detergents, foaming agent, blasting agent, environmental protection, effervescent powders\/tablets, odor control, delicate yet slightly abrasive dissolving prior to surface damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e detergents, water treatment, foaming agent, tanning agent, blasting agent, environmental protection, flue gas purification, chemical industry, pulp\/paper\/paper products manufacture, effervescent powders\/tablets, odor control, delicate yet slightly abrasive dissolving prior to surface damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHELF LIFE and USE BY INFORMATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sodium Bicarbonate, like salt (sodium chloride), can lose some of its potency over a period of time, especially if exposed to air as it absorbs the moisture in the air decreasing potency and changing the weight.
