Description

Sodium acetate exists in two forms: anhydrous powder and agglomerate. Chemically, both are the same; their only difference lies in physical appearance. The agglomerated form comes with advantages such as being non - dusty, having enhanced wettability, a higher bulk density, and better free - flowability. Anhydrous sodium acetate has diverse applications. In the pharmaceutical field, it plays a role. In the photographic industry, it functions as a buffer. For the agricultural sector, it serves as a supplement in animal feeds, specifically to boost the milk fat production of dairy cows. Additionally, it is utilized in the production of dyes. It acts as a polymerization catalyst, a polymer stabilizer, and a flavoring agent. Moreover, it is involved in the manufacturing of hydroxyl oxides, which are used as extractants in hydrometallurgy processes.
