Sodium Acetate Solution

Application:

1. Sodium acetate is used in the textile industry to neutralize sulfuric acid waste streams, and as a photo resist while using aniline dyes.
2. Sodium acetate is used to reduce the damage water can potentially do to concrete by acting as a concrete sealant, while also being environmentally benign and cheaper than the epoxy alternative that is usually employed for sealing concrete against water.
3. Sodium acetate may be added to foods as a seasoning. It may be used in the form of sodium diacetate A frequent use is to impart a salt and vinegar flavor to potato chips.
4. Solution of sodium acetate and acetic acid can act as a buffer to keep a relatively constant pH. This is useful especially in biochemical applications.
5. Sodium acetate is also used in consumer heating pads or hand warmers and is also used in hot ice.
