Inorganic Salts
Sodium Thiosulphate is a colourless transparent monoclinic crystal, soluble in water and strongly reducing. Its two handling characteristics decide how it must be stored: it weathers easily in dry air above 33 deg C and it deliquesces in humid air. A buyer who plans storage around those two facts gets consistent material; one who does not finds caked or crusted crystal in the drum.

| Appearance | Colourless transparent monoclinic crystal |
|---|---|
| Solubility | Soluble in water |
| Reducing character | Strong |
| Weathering | Weathers in dry air above 33 deg C |
| Humid air behaviour | Deliquescent |
Where a mild reducing agent is enough, cheaper sulphites are used. Sodium thiosulphate is chosen when strong reducibility and clean water solubility are both needed, and when the operator can control storage against weathering above 33 deg C and deliquescence in humid air.
FAQ
A colourless transparent monoclinic crystal, soluble in water.
It weathers easily in dry air above 33 deg C. Store below that temperature and keep the container closed.
Yes, it deliquesces in humid air, so containers must be kept sealed.
Strong reducibility together with good water solubility.
Yes, both are issued with the order and a sample COA is available on request.
Packing format is confirmed at quotation against the volume ordered.
