Applications & Uses

Possible applications of ammonium hydrogensulfite (NH4) HSO3 (10192-30-0)

Ammonium hydrogensulfite has a particularly large efficacy spectrum and can be implemented accurately in production.

processes of different branches of industry. TIB® Thio ABS can be manufactured individually and according to specifications for the respective production steps - concentrations and purity levels can be determined in a tailor-made manner. Ammonium hydrogen sulfite is used regularly in wine production. The aim here is to promote parallel yeast formation. This is made possible by a broadened field of action in sulfurization, in which ammonium hydrogen sulfite as the SO2 formulation represents the core. Compared to gaseous SO2, there are clear advantages in terms of safety and dosing.

Ammonium hydrogen sulfite has been legally approved for use to promote yeast formation and yeast nutrition. In particular, the proportion of yeast is increased, which can be utilized by nitrogen. Depending on the area of ​​application, legally defined quantities of maximum dosage can be obtained. Furthermore, the authorization does not cover the use in the production of eco-wines. TIB® Thio ABS can, however, be used on grapes, mash, must, partly fermented grapes and young wine.

The use of TIB® Thio ABS is not without a reason primarily forced in wine production because it is in ready-to-use quality. This facilitates application, makes the stabilizing agent very safe and effective due to the use option by means of metering pumps. TIB® Thio ABS is an absolutely practical alternative to conventional SOaddition using gas or potassium disulfite.

Further applications of ammonium hydrogensulfite (NH4) HSO3 (10192-30-0) in industrial production

Ammonium hydrogen sulfite from TIB Chemicals makes a valuable contribution to the increase of occupational safety in the company. This is mainly due to the lack of the need of dilution because the product is available as a ready-for-use solution. It can be easily implemented in existing production scenarios, since it allows an absolutely accurate dosage and is therefore cost-neutral compared to a gaseous admixture. In addition, there is no longer any odor in the course of the application.

TIB® Thio ABS is characterized by a long durability, so that the product can be stored even during periods of reduced production. For example, it can be used as an ideally dosed reductant in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Further uses of ammonium hydrogen sulfite are e.g.

TIB Chemicals AG Ammonium bisulphite solution - Possible Applications of Ammonium Hydrogensulfite (Nh4) Hso3 (10192-30-0)

  • - Use as oxygen scavengers in the field of oil extraction or in seawater desalination plants
  • - Use as a bleaching agent in the production of paper and cellulose
  • - Use as a formaldehyde trap in the wood processing industry
  • - Exactly dosageable reducing agent for keratin
  • - Disruptants in the production of fibers
  • - Fast fixation solvents in photochemistry

Concluding remarks on the use of ammonium hydrogensulfite (NH4) HSO3 (10192-30-0)

Ammonium hydrogensulfite combines advantages of an SOadministration with the advantages of a precise dosage and high profitability. Not without reason, it is one of the essential aids in the production of caramel for food and beverages. However, it is also used as a preservative in the production of cosmetics. TIB® Thio ABS is the medium of choice in the segment of sulfurization with liquid formulations.
