Is the regulator of acidity and synergist of antioxidants.

The sodium gluconate (not to confuse to a sodium glutamate) is presented in the form of white crystal powder, well soluble in alkalis, acids, cold water and not soluble in alcohols.

  • Additives in cement for the oil-extracting industry, and also solution for processing of the production well.

Besides, the gluconate of sodium found broad application in metallurgy as the chelating agent connecting among themselves metal ions that allows rainfall to be removed easily in the course of filtering. In the field ofГлюконат натрия используется как присадка в цемент steel etching the gluconate of sodium improves a condition of metal, interfering with emergence of deposits of salts on its surface.

Harm of a gluconate of sodium
