Sodium hydroxymethanesulphinate CAS 149-44-0

Sodium hydroxymethanesulphinate, commonly known as Rongalite, is a versatile reducing agent widely used in textile, paper, polymer, and chemical industries. It is primarily used for vat dyeing, discharge printing, and bleaching of textiles, especially cotton and rayon. It is also used as a polymerization inhibitor, antioxidant, and stabilizer in various industrial formulations.

Due to its strong reducing power, it is an effective agent for reducing metal ions and dyes and can also act as a sulfonating agent in chemical synthesis. The chemical formula of Sodium hydroxymethanesulphinate is CH3NaO3S, and it typically appears as a white crystalline powder that is highly soluble in water but unstable in moist air.
