What is Sodium gluconate?
Sodium gluconate is a white granular, crystalline solid which is very soluble in water. It is non corrosive, non toxic, biodegradable and renewable. It is resistant to oxidation and reduction even at high temperatures. The main 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. It is a more superior chelating agent than EDTA, NTA and phosphonates.
Uses for Sodium Gluconate
Used as surface cleaning agent for metals
Used as cleaning agent of glass bottles
It also can be used as water reducing agent and retarder in the building industry. Sodium gluconate is also an efficient set retarder and a good plasticiser & water reducer for concrete, cement, mortar and gypsum
