Sodium Metabisulfite Overview
Sodium Metabisulfite, also called SMBS, is a widely used reducing agent renowned for its ability to neutralize oxidizing agents and preserve the desired qualities of various products. In water treatment, it plays a role in dechlorination to protect equipment and comply with environmental standards. The food and beverage industry often leverages its antioxidant properties to prolong shelf life, maintain flavor, and safeguard color quality.
Key Properties
- Molecular Formula: Na2S2O5
- Effective at reducing oxidation
- Recognizable sulfurous odor
Typical Applications
- Water Dechlorination: Neutralizing residual chlorine
- Food & Beverage Preservation: Extending shelf life and preventing oxidation
- Textile & Paper Processing: Controlling bleaching stages
Owing to its broad utility, SMBS continues to be a staple additive across numerous sectors, helping maintain safety, quality, and efficiency in both industrial and commercial processes.
Sodium metabisulfite (E223) is a widely used preservative and antioxidant for food, beverage and wine production.

Choosing Bortera means partnering with a chemical producer-distributor that understands both bulk logistics and documentation accuracy—critical for seamless import clearance and quality management systems.
For water treatment, mining flotation, leather tanning or pulp & paper bleaching, many customers prefer technical-grade sodium metabisulfite delivered in big bags (typically 1 MT). Bortera operates production lines and bulk filling stations to supply large industrial users with consistent quality and flexible logistics. Big bags reduce handling costs, minimize waste and speed up dosing in continuous processes. We can load FCL or LCL, provide pallet-less options, and consolidate with other inorganic salts to optimize freight. As a manufacturer and wholesale distributor, Bortera ensures stable output, competitive pricing and rapid dispatch from our Turkish facilities to Europe, MENA and beyond.
High-volume users benefit from stacked big bags that maximize warehouse space and simplify container loading. This image shows sodium metabisulfite ready for dispatch from Bortera’s bulk distribution center. We coordinate production slots with customer forecasts, so your supply remains uninterrupted—even during peak seasons. Our producer-grade quality system covers sampling, lot segregation and moisture control to protect SMBS’s stability. Beyond standard grades, we can discuss tailored specifications or alternative packaging (25 kg sacks, 500 kg bags). Partner with Bortera to secure a reliable, manufacturer-level source and a responsive wholesale distributor in one.
