Applications :
- Sodium acetate is used in the textile industry to neutralize sulfuric acid waste streams, and as a photo resist while using aniline dyes. It is also a pickling agent in chrome tanning, and it helps to retard vulcanization of chloroprene in synthetic rubber production. It is also used as “hot-ice” in hand warmer.
- It is the chemical that gives salt and vinegar chips (crisps) their flavor. It may also be added to foods as a preservative; in this application it is usually written as “sodium diacetate” and labeled E262. It is also used for pH control or buffer.
- The MEDICAL & PHARMACEUTICAL industry uses it in formula for diuretic expectorants and systemic alkalizes. It is commonly used in dry blends for renal dialysis. The heat of crystallization generated by sodium acetate is widely and effectively used in the heat pack industry.
