Industrial Uses

1. Food & Healthcare Ingredients

  • Ph Regulator: It helps to maintain the pH level of food, which can affect its taste, color, and stability.
  • Shelf life extender: It can help prevent deterioration of food quality and color.

2. Pharmaceuticals

  • Buffering Agent: it is used as a buffering agent to maintain a stable pH in drug formulations, ensuring the potency and stability of medications, and as a stabilizer in injectable drugs.

3. Fabric Solutions

  • Mordant: To aid in the dyeing process and in certain finishing treatments. It acts as a mordant, helping dyes bind to the fabric evenly and ensuring vibrant, long-lasting colors.
  • Ph Stabilization: It also helps in pH stabilization, preventing uneven dyeing and improving the overall durability of the fabric.
  • Dye fixation: Helps to fix dyes onto fabric fibers, ensuring they are properly bound and do not bleed or fade easily.

4. Construction

  • Sealant & Additive: used primarily as a concrete sealant and additive to protect against moisture and corrosion.
  • Corrosion inhibitor: It also acts as a corrosion inhibitor for metal structures embedded in concrete.

5. Performance Chemicals

  • Precursor: Sodium acetate trihydrate is a starting material for synthesizing various compounds, including cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (like Na2FeSiO4 and Na3V2(PO4)3
  • Buffering agent: In organic synthesis, it acts as a buffer to maintain a stable pH, ensuring optimal reaction conditions.
  • Laboratory reagent: used as a buffer to maintain a stable pH in solutions, particularly in the range of 4.0 to 6.0. It also plays a role in the purification and precipitation of nucleic acids, as well as in protein crystallization.
