Description
White, translucent, odorless crystals. Sodium hyposulfite, or hypo, is primarily used as a fixing agent in photographic developing baths to dissolve unchanged silver halides. It is also used as an antichlor to remove excess chloride ions from bleached papers and textiles. Sodium thiosulfate is used in the chrome tanning of leathers.
Synonyms and Related Terms
hypo; sodium hyposulfite; disodium thiosulfate; hyposulfite of soda; sodium subsulfite; Blankit; Sodothiol; antichlor; sodium thiosulphate (Br.)
Risks
- May cause irritation by inhalation or contact.
- Ingestion may cause diarrhea.
