Sodium Bicarbonate
CAS 144-55-8 · Part MC-NAHCO3 · Technical / Food grade available
Sodium bicarbonate in technical and food grades. The mildest practical alkali — used where pH must come up without any possibility of overshoot.
Specification
- CAS number
- 144-55-8
- Part number
- MC-NAHCO3
- Grade
- Technical / Food grade available
- Physical form
- Solid / powder
- Category
- Dry Chemicals
- Also known as
- baking soda, bicarb, sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3
Sodium bicarbonate in bags and supersacks, available in technical and food grades. Specify the grade when ordering; they are not interchangeable and the food grade carries the documentation to prove it.
Typical uses
- Gentle pH correction where overshoot is unacceptable
- Flue gas and acid gas neutralisation
- Spill neutralisation kits for acid handling areas
- Food and beverage processing, at food grade
- Mild abrasive blasting media
Practical note
Bicarbonate is self-limiting — it will not drive pH much above 8.3 no matter how much is added. That property makes it the right choice for spill kits and for any situation where the person dosing may not be a chemist.

Section 2 covers the hazards, Section 8 the protective equipment actually required, and Section 10 what this must not be stored next to. Storage incompatibility is the single most common cause of serious chemical incidents.
