Product Description
Model No.: Product Origin:China Brand Name: Price Terms: Payment Terms: Certification: Description:Product Name: Sodium MetalPlace of Origin: ChinaSodium metal is the most abundant alkali group metal comprising 2.3% of the earth's crust. It is very reactive and never found free in nature.
The metallic sodium finds extensive technical and industrial applications including drugs and pharmaceuticals, petroleum and atomic reactors. The reaction products of sodium metal with alcohol are the starting material for the production of large number of drugs and pharmaceuticals. Due to the vast difference in its melting and boiling points (m. pt.
98°C and b. pt. 882°C), it is used as heat transfer medium in atomic reactors and in die casting machines.
