Production Technology
Anhydrous Sodium Acetate is produced through the reaction of acetic
acid with sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide. The resulting
sodium acetate is carefully dried at controlled temperatures to
remove all water content, ensuring the product remains in its
anhydrous form.
Theory
Sodium Acetate, as a buffering agent, maintains the pH of solutions
by resisting changes in pH levels when acids or bases are added.
Its anhydrous form is particularly valuable for maintaining the
integrity of formulations where moisture can cause degradation or
unwanted reactions.
