The sodium gluconate is polyhydroxy sodium carboxylate; it is also called sodium pentahydyoxy caproate; the molecular formula is C6H11O7Na; the molecular weight is 218.14; and it is white or light yellow crystalline particles or powder in appearance, easily soluble in water, slightly soluble in alcohol, and insoluble in ether.

Function of sodium gluconate
Mainly used as acid-base balancer, water quality stabilizer, surface cleaner, cement admixture, etc., and has a wide range of uses.
Application of sodium gluconate

1. Construction industry: Sodium gluconate is an efficient retarder, a good plasticizer and water reducer for concrete, cement, mortar and gypsum. Since it acts as a corrosion inhibitor, it helps protect the iron bars used in concrete from corrosion.
2. Electroplating and metal finishing industry: As a chelating agent, sodium gluconate can be used in copper, zinc and cadmium plating solutions to brighten and brighten.
3. Corrosion Inhibitor: As a high performance corrosion inhibitor, protects steel/copper pipes and storage tanks from corrosion.
