Sulphur Di Oxide
Sulphur Dioxide is a colorless, pungent gas available in Industrial Grade and Food Grade, typically supplied in liquefied form under pressure. It is a highly effective antimicrobial and bleaching agent used across diverse manufacturing sectors.
This gas maintains a 99.9% Purity level, ensuring high performance in the preservation of beverages and the purification of sugar. It acts as a powerful Reducing Agent in the textile industry for stripping dyes and bleaching natural fibers.
In chemical synthesis, it serves as a precursor to sulfuric acid and various sulfonyl compounds. It is essential for the Tanning Process in leather production, where it aids in the stabilization of collagen fibers.
