| Solubility |
45% (20°C): 1.2 dose of water is necessary for dissolving
away 1 dose of Rongalite at 20°C.
50% (70°C): 1 dose of water is necessary for dissolving away 1 dose of Rongalite at
70°C. |

| Physical
Properties |
To
be nominated for Rongalite is for the reason that it serves the color-discharging function
to fabrics as well as its appearance. Under different cooling conditions, it solidifies
out into white lumps. |

| Chemical
Properties |
Presenting
a powerful reduction behavior, it acts as well as alkaline protection.
(a) Easy to deliquescent, emit heat, begin to decompose at 80°C, and sulfurated hydrogen
H2S being release:
6NaHSO2CH2O+3H2O---4NaHSO3+2HCOONa
+ 2H2S+HCOOH+3CH3OH
(b) Decompose completely when the temperature rise to 110°C. the intermolecular
formaldehyde splits out, and then nascent hydrogen which is possessed of the strongest
reducing power are produced:
NaHSO2 CH2O --- NaHSO2 + CH2O
NaHSO2 H2O --- NaHSO3 + 2(H)
(c) Under the influence of acidity, decompose at PH>3, emit H2S, so that it should be
present in alkaline medium PH>8.
(d) Decompose on contacting oxidant, take I2 for example:
NaHSO2 CH2O + 2H2O + 2l2 --- NaHSO4 +
4HI+CN2O

|
| Application |
It
is mainly used as a discharging agent, color-discharging agent, reluctant in printing and
dyeing industry, as an activating agent for production styrene-butadise rubber and
synthetic resin, also be used to decolorize and bleach some organic matters, for example :
as a bleaching agent in synthetic rubber, sugar-making, and food industries. It may be
substituted for the sodium hydrosulfite in some special conditions. |

| Package |
In Plastic bag-lined iron drum sealed with
airtight lid, net weight 50 kg each. Powder and Granule form also available in double
woven poly propylene bags. |

| Points
of attention |
Should
be stored in a cool, dark and dry place, protected, from moisture, avoided exposure to
direct sunshine, dont to let it be rained on. Be sure not to store it together with
oxidant and acid, no presence of acidic vapor in storeroom, is allowed. Storage life is
one year. |
