Product information

Product name: Sodium bicarbonate

Common Names: Sodium Bicarbonate, Cold Soda, Italian Bicar, Bicar foor

Chemical formula: NaHCO3.

Origin: Solvay - Italy.

Specification: 25kg/bag

Sodium bicarbonate is a seafood additive

Appearance: White powder, completely soluble in water.

Uses

– Sodium bicar food is used as an ingredient in baking powder in food production.

– Sodium bicarbonate plays an important role in many other manufacturing industries such as in the production of salt and sparkling beverages.

– Water treatment, increase alkalinity in shrimp pond water.

– When the rainy season comes, a lot of rain makes the pH in the pond decline, Bicar food helps to stabilize the pH in the pond water.

– Along with other minerals, Sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3 enhances electrolytes, adds minerals to help shrimp harden shells.

– Wastewater treatment.

Chemical Sodium Bicarbonate

Dosage in seafood

– To increase alkalinity: 15kg/1000m3 (using 10-15kg/1000m3 can increase alkalinity to 10mg/L

–  Alkaline stability in water: 5kg/1000m3 used 5-7 days/time.

– Use in the evening to increase efficiency, so apply with lime (CaCO3) or Dolomite in the evening.

Some notes when using NaHCO3 in shrimp ponds

– Should be handled in the cool weather or in the evening, divided and beaten many times 1-3 hours apart so that the shrimp will not be shocked when using a lot of alkali.

– Should be combined with lime or Dolomite to increase the efficiency of alkalinity in the pond.

– Treatment dosage can be increased or decreased depending on the alkalinity in the pond.

– If it rains a lot, besides increasing the alkalinity, it also increases the salinity of the water.

– Use 10-15kg/1000m3 to increase to 10mg/L.

Preservation measures

Store in a cool dry place and avoid direct sunlight.
