White or light yellow crystalline powder, soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol, salty taste.

Usage: acid base balancing agent, water quality stabilizer, surface cleaning agent, cement admixture, food additive. Sodium gluconate is a kind of sodium polyhydroxycarboxylate, which has been widely used.

1. Used in medicine: to adjust the balance of acid and base in human body to restore the normal function of nerves. It can also be used as food additive for the same purpose.

2. Used as a water quality stabilizer: sodium gluconate is widely used as a water quality stabilizer because of its excellent corrosion and scale inhibition.

3, used for steel surface cleaning agent: steel surface for plating bowls, chrome plating, tin plating, nickel plating, to adapt to the special purpose, such as tin, galvanized sheet, chrome plated surface (such as electroplating), its billet surface must pass strict cleaning, solid combination, make steel surface coating and then cleaning reagent adding sodium gluconate it will achieve the ideal effect. This has been confirmed by the big international tinplate manufacturers.

4, as cement admixture, cement after adding a certain amount of sodium gluconate, can increase the plasticity and strength of concrete, and a block effect, which delay the initial and final solidification time of concrete, so sodium gluconate as cement admixture have been extensively applied in the important construction engineering in foreign countries, such as a large number of bridge construction project in the Middle East. In addition, it can also be used in electroplating and film manufacturing.
