Description
Sodium Gluconate is primarily utilized as a concrete retardant in the construction processes. Due to its chelating properties, it forms stable complexes with different ions, preventing them from participating in chemical reactions.
Sodium Gluconate manufactured by Sakshi Chem Sciences offers the optimum performance. Adding a specific amount of this powder to cement enhances its workability and significantly improves its strength. Moreover, it is completely biodegradable and eco-friendly in nature.
In terms of its technical specifications, Sodium gluconate’s pH value ranges from 6 to 7 and it gets easily dissolved in water. Not to worry about its smell, because it is odorless with an overall purity of 8%. A dosage of 100 to 200 g is recommended per the total weight of the material.
Sodium gluconate is available in 25 kg bags and should be kept in a dry, sealed container, protected from direct sunlight. The product remains effective for up to 12 months from the date of delivery.
Uses and Applications of Sodium Gluconate
Sodium Gluconate is commonly used in the construction industry as:
- Setting time retarder
- Concrete admixture
- Slurry additive
