sodium gluconate (industry grade): 99% content and it is
the most effective water-reducer.
Sodium gluconate is a compound with formula NaC6H11O7. It
is the sodium salt of gluconic acid.
The outstanding 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, and in this respect, it surpasses all other
chelating agents, such as EDTA, NTA and related compounds.
Sodium gluconate is also a highly efficient set retarder
and a good plasticiser / water reducer for concrete, mortar
and gypsum.
Sodium gluconate is used to clean metal and glass, with
applications such as bottle washing, food service and
utensil cleaning, food process equipment cleaning, and
paint removal. Aqueous solutions of sodium gluconate are
resistant to oxidation and reduction, even at high
temperatures. However, it is easily degraded biologically
(98% after 2 days), and thus presents no wastewater
problem.
Sodium gluconate has important effects for maintaining the
osmotic pressure and volume of exocellular fluid,
regulating the acid-base balance in human body and
developing the normal functions of the nerves and muscles.
The product is able to prevent effectively sodium-deficit
syndromes from occurring.
