Description

Application
Sodium acetate is widely used in the food industry as a flavoring agent and preservative in laboratories for buffer solutions in heating pads for heat generation through crystallization and in textile and leather industries for neutralizing sulfuric acid waste.

Purpose
The main purpose of sodium acetate is to act as a buffering agent stabilizing the pH of solutions in chemical biological and industrial processes.

General Description
Sodium acetate is a white crystalline odorless salt that is highly soluble in water and commonly produced by the reaction of acetic acid with sodium hydroxide.
