About Sodium Bicarbonate

Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), widely known as baking soda, is a mild, versatile alkali used across an unusually broad range of industries. It functions as a leavening agent in baking, an antacid and dialysis buffer in pharmaceuticals, a buffering and pH-control agent, a mild abrasive and deodoriser in personal care and cleaning, a feed additive in animal nutrition, and a dry-chemical fire-extinguishing agent. Its gentle alkalinity, food safety and controlled release of carbon dioxide on heating or acid contact underpin most of its uses. It is supplied in several particle sizes and grades: food, pharmaceutical (USP), feed and technical, each specified for its end use. Industrial buyers sourcing Sodium Bicarbonate in bulk also track sodium bicarbonate pricing closely, since it feeds directly into their downstream costs which is why working with an established sodium bicarbonate supplier and distributor like Elchemy matters.

  • Multi-Purpose Use: Suitable for food, pharma, and industrial sectors with competitive sodium bicarbonate price
  • Safe and Non-Toxic: Ideal for human consumption and household applications
  • Highly Soluble: Easy to use in various formulations
  • Cost Effective: Bulk sourcing supported by optimized sodium bicarbonate bulk price
  • Consistent Supply: Available in bulk packaging with reliable sodium bicarbonate 25kg price

FAQs - Sodium Bicarbonate

Who is a trusted sodium bicarbonate supplier and manufacturer for bulk orders?
Elchemy is an established sodium bicarbonate supplier, manufacturer and distributor serving buyers in the USA, UK, UAE and 40+ countries globally. We work with audited manufacturers across multiple origins to ensure reliable bulk supply of Sodium Bicarbonate, with a COA on every batch.
How do I get bulk sodium bicarbonate for a bulk order?
Submit the quote form on this page with your volume, grade, packaging and destination country. Our team returns bulk sodium bicarbonate within 24 to 48 hours. Because sodium bicarbonate pricing moves with the price of soda ash feedstock and CO2, we quote live rather than publishing a fixed rate.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for bulk Sodium Bicarbonate?
Samples are dispatched within 24 to 48 hours. Commercial orders typically start from 1 MT, with full container loads available. As a bulk sodium bicarbonate distributor, Elchemy can match both trial and large-volume requirements contact us for an exact MOQ.
What grades of Sodium Bicarbonate does Elchemy supply?
Elchemy supplies Food Grade (E500ii), Pharmaceutical Grade (USP), Feed Grade, Technical Grade, Fine/Milled Grade. Every grade ships with a COA, TDS and SDS. Tell our team your application and destination and we will recommend the right grade.
What is the difference between sodium bicarbonate and soda ash?
Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3, baking soda) is a mild alkali (pH 8.3) that releases CO2 on heating; soda ash (Na2CO3, sodium carbonate) is a much stronger alkali (pH 11.5). Bicarbonate is used for leavening, antacids and gentle applications; soda ash for glass, detergents and heavy industrial alkalinity. Heating bicarbonate produces soda ash.
Is sodium bicarbonate the same as baking soda?
Yes. Baking soda is the common name for sodium bicarbonate, CAS 144-55-8. It is also called sodium hydrogen carbonate or bicarb.
Can you ship Sodium Bicarbonate to the USA, UK and UAE?
Yes. Elchemy is a global sodium bicarbonate supplier and distributor shipping to the USA, UK, UAE and 40+ countries, with the regulatory documentation each market requires (FDA/EPA, REACH, GSO and more). We handle freight, customs paperwork and delivery.
Is your Sodium Bicarbonate available with Halal, Kosher or non-GMO documentation?
Where applicable, yes. Halal and Kosher certificates and origin/non-GMO declarations are available on request for the relevant grades, alongside the standard COA, TDS and SDS.
What documentation comes with a Sodium Bicarbonate order?
Every order includes a Certificate of Analysis, Technical Data Sheet and GHS-aligned Safety Data Sheet, plus packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin on request the documentation professional buyers expect from a reliable sodium bicarbonate manufacturer and supplier.
How is sodium bicarbonate used as a leavening agent?
Sodium bicarbonate reacts with an acid ingredient (such as SAPP or cream of tartar) when moistened and heated, releasing carbon dioxide that expands the batter and makes baked goods rise. It is typically used at 0.5–2% of the flour weight, balanced against the acid leavener.

Soda Ash

Soda Ash

Two industries dominate global soda ash demand: glass manufacturing and detergents. They use the same chemical compound, sodium carbonate, but in physically different forms. Glass plants need dense soda ash for the free-flowing batch handling their furnaces require. Detergent makers need light soda ash that dissolves rapidly into formulation. Buying the wrong grade creates real operational problems downstream, which is why grade selection is the first procurement decision soda ash buyers actually make. Elchemy supplies ELRASA™-SAL Soda Ash in both dense and light grades to industrial buyers across 40+ countries, with quality matched to glass-grade, detergent-grade, and chemical-processing-grade specifications. Domestic stock is also held at our US warehouses for faster fulfillment.
