Benzyl Alcohol - Phenylmethanol
Benzyl Alcohol is a colorless liquid with a mild, pleasant aromatic odor. It is highly valued as a solvent due to its polarity, low toxicity, and low vapor pressure. This compound is partially soluble in water (4 g/100 mL) and completely miscible in alcohols. Benzyl Alcohol, NF, plays a crucial role in the manufacturing of other benzyl compounds and serves as a pharmaceutical aid and preservative in numerous injectable drugs. Widely used in perfumery and flavoring, it is an organic aromatic alcohol naturally found in various fruits, teas, and essential oils such as Jasmine, Hyacinth, and Ylang-Ylang. In addition to being a preservative, Benzyl Alcohol functions as a solvent, anesthetic, flavoring agent, and an active ingredient in head lice treatments. Its versatile applications extend to personal care products, including baby products, eye products, shaving products, cosmetics, skincare, hair care, nail care, and bath products, as well as soaps and detergents. With the formula C₆H₅CH₂OH, Benzyl Alcohol is manufactured in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and complies with Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EC and its amendments. It holds GRAS, Halal, and Kosher certifications and is not tested on animals. Perfect for pharmaceutical manufacturers, cosmetic formulators, personal care product developers, food and flavoring industry professionals, health and wellness product companies.

Sodium Metabisulfite, 98%
Sodium metabisulfite (SMBS) is commonly used for removal of free chlorine and as a biostatic. Other chemical reducing agents exist (e.g., sulfur dioxide), but they are not as cost-effective as SMBS. When dissolved in water, sodium bisulfite (SBS) is formed from SMBS: Na2S2O5 + H2O → 2 NaHSO3, then reduces hypochlorous acid according to: 2NaHSO3 + 2HOCl → H2SO4 + 2HCl + Na2SO4. In theory, 1.34 mg of sodium metabisulfite will remove 1.0 mg of free chlorine. In practice, however, 3.0 mg of sodium metabisulfite is normally used to remove 1.0 mg of chlorine.

Caution:
Not classified as hazardous under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) and not regulated for transport by the US DOT. Reacts with acids to release sulfur dioxide (SO₂), a toxic and irritating gas. Incompatible with oxidizing agents and may generate strong exothermic reactions. May cause severe allergic reactions in sulfite-sensitive individuals. Avoid skin and eye contact and inhalation of dust. For NSF applications, the maximum usage level is 22 mg/L. For ozone reduction, use approximately 215 mg/L sodium sulfite per 100 mg/L ozone. Residual sulfite levels shall not exceed 100 ppm in finished water. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from acids and oxidizers. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use.
