Sodium Gluconate (Sodium salt of gluconic acid)

Description:
Sodium Gluconate is a white, crystalline, non-corrosive, non-toxic, and biodegradable sodium salt of gluconic acid. It functions primarily as a powerful chelating agent, especially effective in alkaline and concentrated solutions.
Widely used in construction, water treatment, food processing, and cleaning industries, it stabilizes formulations by binding metal ions and preventing unwanted reactions. Sodium Gluconate also acts as a concrete retarder, scale inhibitor, and cleansing aid in industrial and domestic formulations.

Applications:
Chelating agent for metal ions (e.g., calcium, iron, magnesium)
Concrete admixture (retarder and plasticizer)
Cleaning agent in industrial, bottle washing, and metal surface treatment
Food additive (E576) for sequestration and stabilisation
Water treatment and electroplating industries

Benefits:
􀀀 Biodegradable
􀀀 Non-toxic and environmentally friendly
􀀀 Excellent chelating properties in alkaline and concentrated solutions
􀀀 Stable at high temperatures
