Applications

Sodium Acetate, sodium salt of acetic acid, is a white or colorless crystalline compound, prepared by the reaction of acetic acid with sodium carbonate or with sodium hydroxide. There are commercially anhydrous salt or trihydrate form losing water at 58 C. Both are soluble in water and in ethoxyethane, and slightly soluble in ethanol. Sodium Acetate is a salt of a strong base and a weak acid providing the application to be used as buffers in petroleum production and drilling mud, in food preservations, and in electroplating. It is used as a retardant in elastomer industry. It is used in tanning to effect a more even and rapid penetration of the tan in the leather industry. It is also used as a mordant in dyeing processes. Sodium Acetate is an intermediate to manufacture organic compounds like dyes, pigments, pharmaceuticals, and cinnamic acid. It is also used in soap industry and purification of glucose.
