Sodium Acetate has many applications in the world today. It is currently being used for Industrial purposes, in food, it is being used as a buffer solution and in Concrete longevity, Heating pads, Hand warmers, in medicine and is being studied for further future uses.
Industrial Uses:
Sodium acetate is being used in the textile industry to neutralize sulfuric acid waste streams and as a photo resistor while using aniline dyes. It also works as a pickling agent in chrome tanning and it helps to retard vulcanization of chloroprene in synthetic rubber production. Sodium acetate is also used to eliminate static electricity buildups in processing cotton for disposable cotton pads. It is used as a buffering agent in leather tanning to create a more even tan and to make the leather more durable. Sodium acetate is as well used in the buffering of petroleum products and even in the production range of cosmetic products. It is generally being used in industrial factories as it is inexpensive and very safe to use.
Food:
This solution is safe to act as a food additive. Sodium diacetate which is sodium acetate and acetic acid is commonly uses as a seasoning in salt and vinegar potato chips in the U.S. It is also used to enhance the flavor of some meat and poultry products.
Buffer Solution:
As a conjugate base of acetic acid, a solution of sodium acetate and acetic acid can act as a buffer in order to keep a relatively constant pH level. This is very useful mostly in the field of biochemical applications in which the reactions are pH dependent in a mildly acidic range such as pH 4-6.
Concrete Longevity:
Sodium acetate is used to reduce the damage water can potentially do to concrete by acting as concrete sealant as well as being environmentally benign and cheaper than the epoxy alternative that is usually in employment for the sealing of concrete against water permeation.
