alkalinizer

pH raising substance

An alkalinizer is a substance that raises pH levels, making something more alkaline (less acidic).

In medicine, alkalinizers treat conditions involving excess acid—sodium bicarbonate alkalinizes urine, and antacids alkalinize stomach contents.

In chemistry and water treatment, alkalinizers adjust pH for industrial processes: The pool technician added an alkalinizer to balance the water.
