What is Sodium Acetate? Sodium Acetate (chemical formula NaC₂H₃O₂) is the sodium salt of acetic acid, a white, crystalline substance that is highly soluble in water. It is commonly used in various chemical, industrial, and laboratory applications. This compound is valued for its ability to act as a buffer, stabiliser, and in chemical synthesis, as well as its use in food preservation, heating pads, and as a reagent in laboratory processes.
Consistent Quality: We source only high-quality Sodium Acetate Trihydrate, ensuring reliable and consistent performance in laboratory, chemical, and industrial applications.
Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged in non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers to ensure safe handling and maintain product quality during transport.
Frequent Uses
Buffering Agent
Widely used as a buffering agent in chemical and biochemical processes. It helps to maintain a stable pH in solutions, making it valuable in laboratories for experiments that require precise pH control.
Heating Pads and Hand Warmers
Used in reusable heating pads and hand warmers. When the salt is supersaturated in water and activated, it crystallises, releasing heat. This makes it an efficient, eco-friendly option for portable heat sources.
Chemical Synthesis
Plays an important role in chemical synthesis, particularly in the production of acetic acid, acetates, and other organic compounds. It is often used as a reactant in the synthesis of chemicals for the pharmaceutical, food, and textile industries.
Water Treatment
As a neutralising agent. It can help to balance pH levels in water systems and is often used in conjunction with other chemicals for industrial water treatment.
Laboratory Reagent
A key reagent in laboratories, particularly in titrations and in the preparation of buffer solutions for biochemical assays. It is also used in the production of sodium salts in various chemical reactions.
