What is NaHS used for?

Sodium hydrosulfide, known by its chemical symbol NaHS (often pronounced “nash”) is used in the leather tanning, pulp and paper, chemical, dye, and mineral extraction industries. NaHS is used as a pure solid (flake) or more commonly as a solution in water.

How NaHS is formed?

Produced in our ISO 9001 production facility in Germany, sodium hydrosufide (NaSH) is one of the sulfur derivatives of Quadrimex Chemical. This product is the result of a chemical reaction between hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and caustic soda.

Is NaHS an acid or base?

NaHS is a strong base with a pH between 11.5 and 12.5.

What is the chemical name of NaSH?

Sodium Hydrosulfide
Sodium Hydrosulfide (NaSH)

Is Nahs a salt?

NaHS and sodium sulfide are used industrially, often for similar purposes. Solid NaHS is colorless. The solid has an odor H2S owing to hydrolysis by atmospheric moisture….Sodium hydrosulfide.
