In which purities is sodium available?
Metallic sodium and its compounds are subject to very different purity requirements depending on the area of application. We offer metallic sodium in purities of 99.9% as ampoule-sealed ingot metal and in 99.95% as pieces under oil – both variants are classified as hazardous goods and are delivered in accordance with applicable transport regulations.
For sodium compounds such as sulfonates, phosphates, sulfates or halides, the purities offered are oriented to the respective intended use: many compounds are available at 99% or higher and are therefore suitable for analytical and synthetic applications. Should specific purity requirements exist that go beyond the standard range, please contact us directly – we will verify the availability of corresponding qualities via our worldwide procurement network.
Which forms does ChemPUR offer?
High purity is not a given – and it begins with the selection of the correct product form. Metallic sodium is available from us as pieces in the 3–12 mm fraction under oil as well as as ampoule-sealed ingot metal, which ensures safe handling of this reactive alkali metal. The compound range comprises well over 135 items, from sulfonates to phosphates and sulfates through to halides, carbonates and rare earth compounds based on sodium.
As an ISO 9001:2015 certified family business with direct access to a worldwide dealer network, we can also realize special forms and customer-specific filling quantities. Our specialists advise you personally and without detours via a call center – short decision-making paths are part of our understanding. We are directly available for product-specific inquiries.
For which applications is sodium used?
Sodium is used in research, synthesis and materials development primarily when a defined sodium source or a reactive starting material is required. Metallic sodium is relevant for special synthesis processes, for example when strong reducing action or controlled reaction control is required.
Sodium compounds are used much more broadly. Depending on the compound, they are suitable for wet-chemical syntheses, analytical procedures, buffer solutions, catalyst development or the production of functional materials. Particularly in laboratories and development departments, the selection of the appropriate compound is decisive, as purity, solubility and reactivity can directly influence the process.
For materials science applications, specialized sodium compounds such as tungstates, vanadates or other inorganic salts are also available. Which quality is suitable depends on your process and the desired specifications. Our specialist team will be pleased to support you in selecting the appropriate sodium product.
Which sodium compounds are available?
At ChemPUR you receive sodium compounds from a particularly broad chemical spectrum. For classical laboratory, synthesis and analytical applications, sodium acetates, sodium carbonates, sodium hydroxides, sodium nitrates, sodium oxalates, sodium phosphates and sodium sulfates are available, among others. These compounds are suitable, for example, as a defined sodium source, reaction partner, buffer substance or auxiliary in wet-chemical processes. For chromatographic and analytical applications, the range includes various sodium sulfonates and sodium sulfates, including alkyl sulfonates and alkyl sulfates. These products are particularly relevant when ionic properties, solubility or defined counterions play a role.
For inorganic synthesis, materials research and technical applications, ChemPUR also offers sodium borates, sodium molybdates, sodium niobate, sodium metavanadate, sodium tungstate as well as fluoro- and oxo-complexes. The range is supplemented by precious metal and complex salts, for example based on gold, platinum, palladium, iridium, rhodium or rhenium. Metallic sodium is available separately as pieces under oil and as ampoule-sealed ingot. Which sodium compound is suitable for your application depends on purity, solubility, reactivity, counterion and desired specification. Our specialist team will be pleased to support you in the selection.
Particularly noteworthy are the sodium sulfonates with various chain lengths – from C4 to C16 – which are used in ion-pair chromatography and surfactant research. Sodium Aluminium Fluoride (Chiolite, Na₅Al₃F₁₄) is available as high-purity granulate. Overall, the sodium range comprises well over 135 individual products. For compounds not listed in the standard catalog, we verify procurement possibilities upon request.
Why is ChemPUR the right contact for sodium?
Which purity is required for an application? Which product form is specifically suitable for your application? All of this cannot always be determined from a catalog – this is precisely where our consulting service comes in. As an ISO 9001:2015 certified company, we ensure that quality standards are consistently maintained, from incoming goods inspection to delivery. Via our worldwide dealer network, we can procure almost all sodium compounds and forms, including those not carried in the standard range.
If you require different container sizes or special qualities, please contact us. Our specialists speak directly with you – without queues, without transfers. Those seeking reliable quality and competent consultation for sodium and its compounds will find an experienced contact in ChemPUR. Contact us.
Is sodium delivered worldwide by ChemPUR?
In addition to the standard forms of the sodium range, we also deliver our products internationally as a matter of principle. Metallic sodium is classified as hazardous goods, which means that special transport regulations apply for shipping and an additional hazardous goods surcharge is incurred – we recommend clarifying the exact shipping conditions with us in advance. Sodium compounds that are not classified as hazardous goods can generally be shipped internationally without these restrictions.
Via our worldwide dealer network, we are able to organize suitable procurement and delivery routes for international customers as well. Should country-specific import or export regulations be relevant for certain sodium products, we clarify this within the framework of order processing. For binding information on delivery possibilities to your destination country, please contact us directly.
What distinguishes sodium from other elements?
Sodium is particularly interesting when a very reactive alkali metal or a defined sodium source is required. Metallic sodium is suitable for applications where strong reducing action or targeted reactivity is required. At the same time, sodium offers broad compound chemistry – from classical salts to specialized compounds for synthesis, analytics and materials development. This allows you to choose between reactive metal and appropriate sodium compounds depending on the application. Which form and purity is suitable depends on your process and the desired specification. Our specialist team will be pleased to support you in the selection.
