Sodium Gluconate 1 Kg

Sodium gluconate is the sodium salt of gluconic acid and is a white, crystalline compound with the chemical formula NaC6H11O7. It is generally highly soluble in water and is known as a chelating agent. Below are the usage areas and properties of sodium gluconate:

Usage Areas

1. Concrete and Construction Industry:

   • Concrete Additive: It is used to extend the setting (solidification) time of concrete. This allows the concrete to be workable for a longer period of time.
   • Durability of Concrete: Increases the durability of concrete and reduces its cracking.

2. Cleaning and Detergent Industry:

   • Chelating Agent: Used to prevent lime and mineral accumulation caused by hard water. This is especially important in industrial cleaning products and household detergents.
   • Industrial Cleaning: It is used in cleaning metal surfaces, because it provides more effective cleaning of surfaces by binding metal ions. 14px;">Food and Beverage Industry:
     • Food Additive: Used as a preservative, stabilizer and acidity regulator. It extends the shelf life of foods and preserves their taste.
     • Water Retainer: It is used to increase the water retention capacity in meat and meat products.

   • Pharmaceutical and Health Products:

     • Pharmaceutical Production: Sodium gluconate is used as a stabilizer and chelating agent in pharmaceutical formulations.
     • Health Products: Prevents mineral accumulation by using it in toothpastes and mouthwashes.

   • Metal Coating and Processing:

     • Metal Cleaning: It is used to clean oxide and corrosion layers on metal surfaces.
     • Plating Baths: It is used in metal plating processes because it ensures that the plating solution is more stable by chelating metal ions.
