What is Sodium Gluconate?

Sodium gluconate is the sodium salt of gluconic acid. It is a biodegradable chelating agent widely used in CIP (Clean-In-Place) detergents, especially for:

• Dairy plants

• Beverage & brewery systems

• Food processing equipment

• Pharmaceutical reactors

• Heat exchangers and pipelines

Why Sodium Glucoante required in Ready mix Concrete Production?
Concrete production is facing high temperature, fast setting, poor fluidity, or strength inconsistency, then our high-purity Sodium Gluconate will be a powerful solution for your plant.

Application

Why Use Sodium Gluconate in CIP?

Sodium Gluconate as Chelating (Sequestering) Agent

It binds hardness ions like:

• Ca²⁺

• Mg²⁺

• Fe³⁺

This prevents:

• Scale formation

• Re-deposition of minerals

• Water hardness interference

Sodium Gluconate also used as concrete retarder, water reducing agent. Also sodium gluconate as a retarders keep concrete workable during placement and delay the initial set of concrete an additional admixture which uses in mortar/concrete.

Technical Specification

Typical Dosage of Sodium Gluconate in CIP Formulation

Typical CIP solution concentration:

• 0.5 – 2% detergent in water

• Temperature: 60–80°C

• Contact time: 20–40 minutes

Alkaline CIP Detergent Formula with Sodium Gluconate :

Heavy-Duty Food Plant Cleaner

• Caustic Soda (NaOH) – 25–35%

• Sodium Gluconate – 5–8%

• Sodium Metasilicate – 5–10%

• Low-foam Surfactant – 2–4%

• Water – Balance

Sodium Gluconate is white or slight yellowish crystal free flowing powder. Sodium gluconate is a compound with formula NaC6H11O7 having water soluble nature.
