Sodium acetate is anhydrous powder and agglomerate. These two versions are chemically identical and differ only in physical form. The agglomerate offers the properties of non-dustiness, improver wettability, higher bulk density and improver free-flowability.
Sodium acetate anhydrous is used in the pharmaceutical industry, as a buffer in the photographic industry and as a supplement for animal feeds to increase the milk fat production of dairy cattle. It is also used in the production of dye stuffs, as a polymerization catalyst, as a polymer stabilizer, as a flavoring agent, and in the manufacture of hydroxyl oxides, which are used as extractants in hydrometallurgy.
