About Sodium Gluconate

Sodium gluconate is also called as sodium salt of gluconic acid. The production process of manufacturing Sodium Gluconate is by fermentation of glucose using fungi. The appearance of Sodium Gluconate is white crystalline and highly soluble in water. The Sodium Gluconate is non-toxic, non corrosive and readily biodegradable unlike other acids they are safe.

The primary source of making Sodium Gluconate is Gluconic acid also chemically as pentahydroxycaproic acid is from the family of an Acid Sugar and belongs to the aldonic acid family.

The Acid Sugar products are always nonvolatile, noncorrosive, nontoxic, and very biodegradable weak organic. This acid is a natural component abundantly present in plants and fruits such as honey, wine, rice, and meat and also synthetically produced by fungi.

The sodium gluconate is used to improve the water resistance of cements and calcium gluconate is used for inhibition of mild steel corrosion in low concentrations of chloride solutions and treatment of metal deficiencies. Sodium Gluconate are important ingredient as chemical admixture but widely used in many different fields, such as in concrete, textile industry, oil drilling, soap, cosmetics, toothpaste, etc.
