Sodium gluconate

Product Parameters

1 used in medicine to regulate the acid-base balance in the human body to restore the normal function of the nervous system, based on the same purpose, used in food additives;

2. As a water quality stabilizer, its excellent performance in: (1) has obvious coordination effect, suitable for molybdenum, silicon, phosphorus, tungsten, nitrite and other formulations, due to coordination effect, corrosion inhibition effect is greatly improved; The opposite of the general corrosion inhibitor, corrosion inhibition rate increases with the temperature; The scale inhibition ability of the technical requirements of calcium, magnesium, iron salts have a strong complexation ability, especially for Fe3+ excellent chelation; (4) as a corrosion inhibitor and scale inhibitor of circulating cooling water, it is unmatched by other corrosion inhibitor and scale inhibitors currently in use, and can achieve the effect of eliminating public hazards;

5. Used as cement admixture: adding a certain amount of sodium gluconate in cement can increase the plasticity and strength of concrete, and has a blocking effect, that is, delay the initial and final solidification time of concrete;

6. Can be used for electroplating, film manufacturing and many other industrial fields.

Sodium gluconate is the sodium salt of gluconic acid, produced by fermentation of glucose. It is a white to tan, granular to fine, crystalline powder, very soluble in water.
The outstanding property of sodium gluconate is its excellent chelating power, especially in alkaline and concentrated alkaline solutions. It forms stable chelates with calcium, iron, copper, aluminium and other heavy metals, and in this respect, it surpasses all other chelating agents, such as EDTA, NTA and related compounds.
Aqueous solutions of sodium gluconate are resistant to oxidation and reduction, even at high temperatures. However, it is easily degraded biologically (98 % after 2 days), and thus presents no wastewater problem.
Sodium gluconate is also a highly efficient set retarder and a good plasticiser / water reducer for concrete, mortar and gypsum.
