Sodium bromate

Sodium bromate (CAS 7789-38-0, NaBrO3) is an inorganic oxidizing salt with no assigned E-code for food applications. It is commercially available under trade designations including Neutralizer K 126, Neutralizer K 140, and Neutralizer K 938, and is classified under EC 232-160-4.

In textile and leather processing, sodium bromate acts as an oxidative neutralizer following reduction bleaching, reoxidizing dye intermediates to develop final color. In mining, it functions as a selective oxidant in gold and silver leaching circuits. Water treatment applications exploit its strong oxidizing potential to inactivate microbial contaminants and break down organic matter.

Sodium bromate is supplied as a technical-grade crystalline powder, with procurement governed by REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and subject to classification under CLP as an oxidizing solid and acute toxin. Buyers should confirm SDS compliance and packaging specifications, typically 25 kg bags or fiber drums, with the supplying distributor.
