Sodium Acetate Anhydrous – Industrial Chemical

Sodium Acetate Anhydrous is a food grade chemical used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and labs. It’s a white crystalline powder (CH₃COONa). Dissolves well in water. Works as a buffering agent, preservative, and chemical intermediate.

Industries in Australia use Sodium Acetate Anhydrous for everything from concrete acceleration to drug manufacturing. The anhydrous form has no water, so it’s more potent and lasts longer than hydrated versions.

What Is Sodium Acetate Anhydrous?

It’s the sodium salt of acetic acid. Made by neutralizing acetic acid with sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate. Has no water molecules, unlike the trihydrate form. Good for applications needing exact chemical concentrations. Also called sodium ethanoate. Stable under normal storage.

Industrial Applications

In food, Sodium Acetate Anhydrous works as a pH buffer and flavor enhancer. Makes salt and vinegar chips taste tangy. Textile industry uses it as a mordant for dyeing. Helps fabrics get bright, lasting colors. In concrete, it accelerates curing in cold weather.

Drug makers use it for buffer prep and in tablets. Labs use it for buffer solutions and protein crystallization studies.
