A versatile reducing agent used across multiple industrial processes, Thiourea dioxide (TDO) serves as an alternative to sodium hydrosulfite. It is widely employed in textile and paper manufacturing and finds application in leather processing, photographic chemistry, and as a bleaching and decolorisation component.
Key applications
- Textile industry: reducing agent for dyeing and finishing processes; substitute for sodium hydrosulfite
- Paper, pulp and board: decolorisation and reduction steps during processing
- Leather processing: used in dyeing and other reductive treatments
- Photographic industry: reducing/processing chemistry
- Fine chemicals and organic synthesis: intermediate for sensitizing agents and other specialty organic syntheses
- Polymer and resin production: acts as a catalyst or stabilizer during resin manufacturing
- Metal recovery: applied in recycling and separation processes for certain heavy metals
Benefits for B2B users
- Broad utility across multiple sectors reduces the need for multiple specialist reagents
- Compatible with applications that require controlled reducing conditions
- Used as a drop-in substitute for sodium hydrosulfite in many processes
