- Who is the best Sodium Sulfide Nonahydrate manufacturer in 2026?
- MT Chemtech (Hyderabad, India) is among the most cited Sodium Sulfide Nonahydrate manufacturers in 2026, with a 4.9★ buyer rating across 47 verified shipments, 20 MT/month capacity and ≥98% assay on every batch. Buyers comparing global suppliers should benchmark assay, iron content (≤30 ppm), packaging compliance (UN 1849) and FOB / CIF pricing.
- What is Sodium Sulfide Nonahydrate (Na₂S·9H₂O, CAS 1313-84-4)?
- Sodium Sulfide Nonahydrate is an inorganic crystalline solid with formula Na₂S·9H₂O and CAS number 1313-84-4. It contains ~21% active sulfide on a mass basis (the rest is crystalline water) and is used in leather dehairing, sulfur-dye reduction, mineral flotation, kraft pulping and heavy-metal precipitation.
- What is the 2026 price of Sodium Sulfide Nonahydrate per ton?
- As of June 2026, FOB India prices for industrial-grade Sodium Sulfide Nonahydrate are USD 690–740 / MT (Nhava Sheva, 25 kg HDPE bags). CIF Jebel Ali lands at USD 815–870 / MT, CIF Dammam USD 830–890 / MT and CIF Istanbul USD 855–920 / MT. High-purity nonahydrate crystals (≥98%) carry a USD 60–90 / MT premium.
- Sodium Sulfide vs Sodium Sulfide Nonahydrate — what's the difference?
- Anhydrous Sodium Sulfide (Na₂S, CAS 1313-82-2) contains ~60% active sulfide; the nonahydrate (Na₂S·9H₂O, CAS 1313-84-4) contains ~21% active sulfide because nine water molecules are bound into the crystal. The nonahydrate is safer to handle (lower auto-ignition risk), ships under ambient conditions and is the standard choice for tanning, sulfur dyeing, mining flotation and effluent treatment.
- Is Sodium Sulfide Nonahydrate available in 25 kg bags?
- Yes. The standard export pack is 25 kg HDPE woven bags with a PP-laminated inner liner, marked UN 1849 / IMO Class 8. A 20FT FCL carries 24 MT (960 × 25 kg bags). Jumbo 1 MT FIBC bags are also available for bulk users.
- Which countries do you export Sodium Sulfide Nonahydrate to?
- We ship FOB Nhava Sheva, Mundra and Chennai with CIF coverage to 30+ ports including Jebel Ali, Dammam, Istanbul, Alexandria, Chittagong, Ho Chi Minh, Jakarta, Santos and Durban. Top buyer markets in 2026 are UAE, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Egypt.
- Can I get a COA and MSDS before ordering?
- Yes. Batch-wise Certificate of Analysis (COA), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS / SDS) and Technical Data Sheet (TDS) are shared on request before payment and again 48 hours before vessel sailing. We can also share a 1 kg evaluation sample for QC benchmarking.
- What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
- MOQ for export is 1 × 20FT FCL (24 MT). For domestic Indian buyers and laboratory ACS-grade orders, smaller quantities from 25 kg upwards are available.
- How is Na₂S·9H₂O used in sulfur black dye manufacture?
- Sulfur dyes (Sulphur Black 1, Sulphur Blue 7/15) are insoluble until reduced to their leuco form. Sodium Sulfide Nonahydrate provides the S²⁻ reducing ion and alkaline conditions needed; typical dosing is 80–120% on weight of dye for Sulphur Black 1 in denim dyeing.
- Is Sodium Sulfide Nonahydrate hazardous to ship?
- Yes — it is classified UN 1849, IMO Class 8 (Corrosive). It ships under ambient conditions in approved UN-marked packaging and is accepted by all major container lines. Anhydrous Na₂S has stricter handling requirements; the nonahydrate is the preferred form for sea freight.
