Sodium gluconate is used mainly in the construction, medical and food industries
The function of sodium gluconate in the construction
Sodium gluconate is used as water reducer and retarder in concrete engineering. Its reducing water, plasticizing, retarder effect is very significant, can greatly improve the workability of concrete, reduce slump loss, improve the later strength of concrete, as a retarder can make the initial setting time from a few hours to a few days without loss of strength. And wide range of application, pumping concrete, large fluidity concrete, mass concrete, high strength concrete can be applied.
The function of sodium gluconate in the medical
Regulate the balance of acid and base in human body to restore the normal function of nerve.
The function of sodium gluconate in food
In the food industry, it can be used as a food additive, because it can effectively prevent the occurrence of low sodium syndrome. Sodium gluconate and potassium gluconate have excellent taste thresholds. Sodium gluconate has no irritation and bitterness, and its salt taste is close to that of table salt. The threshold value is much higher than other organic salts, which is 5 times of table salt (inorganic salt), 2.6 times of sodium malate, and 16.3 times of sodium lactate. Sodium gluconate and potassium gluconate are used in food processing to regulate pH, improve the taste of food, and replace salt to process into healthy low-salt or no-salt (no-sodium chloride) food, which plays a great role in improving human health and enriching people's life.
