It bleaches the leather and makes leather soft, well-developed, tough, waterproof, anti-break, wear-ability and etc.

Cleaning Agent

It is commonly used in home brewing and winemaking to sanitize equipment. It is used as a cleaning agent for potable water reverse osmosis membranes in desalination systems. It is also used to remove chloramine from drinking water after treatment.

Other Applications

In photography industry, sodium metabisulfite is used for production of developer solution and acidising fixation baths. Concentrated sodium metabisulfite can be used to remove tree stumps. It is also used as an excipient in some tablets, such as paracetamol.
