What Is Sodium Benzenesulfinate?
Sodium benzenesulfinate, CAS 873-55-2, is an aromatic sulfinate salt also known as BSS. ZXCHEM supplies white flake crystals for industrial electroplating additive formulation and selected organic synthesis. The formula is C6H5NaO2S and molecular weight is 164.15 g/mol.
The local supply specification lists content 98.0–99.9%, pH 6.5–7.5, loss on drying ≤20%, chloride ≤0.5% and sulfate ≤0.2%. Keep the content and drying limits on their original analytical basis when comparing a batch COA; the document does not identify an alternative calculation basis.
Electroplating developers evaluate sodium benzenesulfinate with the complete nickel brightener package. Chemical developers also use aromatic sulfinates in selected sulfone and related synthetic routes. Establish bath concentration, reaction conditions and compatibility through qualified trials rather than assuming one universal dose.
Standard packing follows the local TDS: 25 kg bags. Keep sealed, dry and cool, separate from strong oxidizers and excessive heat. The matched crystalline reference is non-dangerous goods for road, sea and air transport; dust and direct contact still require appropriate industrial hygiene.
