Sodium Gluconate 98%

Sodium Gluconate 98% is a versatile industrial chemical primarily used as a chelating agent to bind metal ions in aqueous solutions. Its ability to sequester calcium, iron, and other metal ions makes it invaluable in water treatment processes to prevent scale formation and corrosion. In construction, it functions as a concrete retarder and plasticizer, improving workability and strength development of cement mixtures. This product is supplied in 25 kg bags ensuring ease of handling and storage. It is stable in dry form but should be stored in sealed packaging in cool, dry industrial warehouses to prevent moisture uptake which can impair performance. Finstar Chemicals serves customers in the East African region, enabling reliable supply to Kenya and surrounding markets. Proper handling includes minimizing dust exposure and avoiding contact with incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers. Sodium Gluconate solutions are commonly dosed at rates depending on application: in concrete admixture from 0.1% to 0.3% by weight of cement and in water treatment adjusted as per water hardness levels. Procurement value lies in the chemical’s multifunctionality: it replaces more hazardous chelants while offering good biodegradability and compatibility with various industrial processes. Selecting a high purity grade like 98% ensures consistent product performance and predictable dosing in key applications.
