About Sodium Azide, Lab Grade

Sodium azide is the inorganic compound with the formula NaN₃. This colorless salt is the gas-forming component in many car airbag systems. It is used for the preparation of other azide compounds. It is an ionic substance, is highly soluble in water, and is very acutely toxic.

Common Uses and Applications

• Airbags: Sodium azide has been used in the past in automotive airbag systems as a propellant for rapidly inflating the airbag in the event of a collision. However, due to safety concerns, many manufacturers have transitioned to alternative compounds.
• Chemical Reagent: It's used in laboratories as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of other azide compounds.
• Preservative: Sodium azide is sometimes used as a preservative in laboratory solutions to prevent microbial growth.
• Biochemistry: In biochemistry, sodium azide is used as an inhibitor to prevent the activity of enzymes involved in electron transport chains.
