Latest News and Developments:

• November 2025: Researchers published a clinical study evaluating successful treatment of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in a dialysis patient using intravenous sodium thiosulfate alongside dialysis and supportive therapy, leading to marked improvement in skin sclerosis and joint mobility. The research suggests sodium thiosulfate’s benefits stem from calcium-chelating and anti-fibrotic effects, and while outcomes across earlier cases are mixed, the compound shows growing therapeutic promise that warrants larger controlled studies.

Product Description

Sodium thiosulfate is an inorganic compound that appears as white translucent crystals or as a fine crystalline powder, and its composition is represented by the formula Na2S2O3. It is traded mainly in the pentahydrate form, widely known as hypo, and in the anhydrous form used for pharmaceutical applications. The material is odourless, has a faint saline sulfur taste and dissolves very readily in water while being practically insoluble in alcohol. Its key properties include strong reducing behaviour, the ability to form stable complexes with heavy metal ions, mild alkalinity in solution and gradual loss of water of crystallisation in dry air. The principal production route reacts sodium sulfite with elemental sulfur in aqueous solution, followed by filtration, evaporation and crystallisation to recover the solid product. Sodium thiosulfate is also recovered from sulfur dye waste liquors and other industrial streams containing sodium sulfide. Its main end use industries include photography, mining, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, textiles, pulp and paper, leather processing, food processing and aquaculture. In photography it acts as the classic fixing agent that dissolves unexposed silver halide from films and papers.
