Sodium Bicarbonate also known as Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate is a chemical substance white in colour and its aqueous solution is clear and colorless (chemical formula NaHCO₃). Like Soda Ash, Sodium Bicarbonate is a safe inorganic compound that is chemically closely related to Soda Ash.

The main uses of Sodium Bicarbonate are as a raising agent in food manufacture, as an ingredient in pharmaceutical healthcare and animal feed products, and in waste water treatment.
