Product: Sodium Gluconate (C₆H₁₁NaO₇)

CAS No.: 527-07-1
Hazard Class: Non-hazardous
UN No.: Non-regulated
Appearance: White to tan crystalline powder

Description: Sodium gluconate is produced through fermentation of glucose followed by neutralization, serving as a versatile chelating agent with superior metal-binding capacity (especially for Fe³⁺ and Ca²⁺ at pH 4-12). Its applications include concrete retarder (0.1-0.3% cement weight), food additive (E576 stabilizer), and cleaning agent (removes scale without corrosion). The compound exhibits high water solubility (59g/100mL at 25°C) and biodegradability (>95% OECD 301F), outperforming EDTA in alkaline environments while being non-toxic (LD50>7.6g/kg).
