Sodium Formaldehyde Sulfoxylate Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- Rongalite
- SFS
- Sodium Hydroxymethanesulfinate
- Sodium Sulfoxylate Formaldehyde
Sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate is a water-soluble reducing agent used in textile processing and industrial polymer production. Buyers seeking a sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate supplier in Malaysia may also specify the material as rongalite, sodium hydroxymethanesulfinate or SFS.
Commercial forms include white crystalline powder, flake and granular solid. Technical grades are selected by assay, reducing power, sulphate and sulphite content, moisture and the handling form required by the process, with SHS also appearing as a contextual abbreviation for the systematic name.
The material is used in textile discharge printing, vat and sulphur dye reduction, dye stripping and colour correction, as well as redox-initiated emulsion polymerisation. Other process uses include sugar decolourisation, pulp and paper bleaching and selected reductive steps in organic synthesis.
Send the intended application, required form, assay or reducing-power specification, quantity and delivery location with the enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, delivery timing and quotation validity are confirmed for the stated requirement, and supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Sodium Formaldehyde Sulfoxylate applications
Common questions about sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate
Are sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate and rongalite the same material?
Rongalite is a generic trade shorthand for sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate, also called sodium hydroxymethanesulfinate. SFS is a common abbreviation, while SHS may appear on specifications for the systematic name.
Which commercial forms of sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate are used?
Commercial forms include white crystalline powder, flake and granular solid. The preferred form should be stated together with the assay, reducing-power and moisture requirements.
Is sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate the same as sodium dithionite?
No. Both are industrial reducing agents, but sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate and sodium dithionite are different chemicals with separate specifications and process behaviour.
What should a textile buyer specify for discharge printing?
State the form, assay or reducing-power requirement, relevant sulphate, sulphite and moisture limits, process use and quantity. Product-specific suitability should be checked against the printing and dye system.
What is needed for an SFS quotation?
Provide the required form, specification, application, quantity and delivery location. Packing, documentation and availability are confirmed with the quotation, and supply is subject to applicable requirements.
