Sodium acetate

Sodium acetate (CAS 127-09-3 ), also designated E262i in food applications, is an inorganic acetate salt used across food, pharmaceutical, and personal care manufacturing. It functions primarily as a pH buffer, acidulant, and preservative in both aqueous formulations and dry processing systems. In food production, it extends shelf life in baked goods, snack seasonings, and condiments by controlling acidity and inhibiting microbial growth. Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it to buffer parenteral solutions, tablet coatings, and topical formulations. Precise pH control is critical to product stability in these medical applications. In personal care, it adjusts pH in creams, lotions, and hair care products to maintain formulation integrity across various storage conditions. Industrial applications include use as a catalyst in certain synthesis processes and as a buffering agent in textile dyeing and effluent treatment. This versatility makes it a staple chemical for diverse manufacturing sectors. Sodium acetate is supplied in both anhydrous powder form and as the trihydrate crystalline granules. The anhydrous grade is generally preferred for applications where moisture sensitivity is a primary concern for the manufacturer. Standard grades include FCC food-grade, USP / BP for pharmaceutical use, and technical grade for industrial applications. These certifications ensure the material meets the rigorous safety and purity requirements of each industry. Packaging typically ranges from 25 kg bags to bulk quantities depending on the specific grade and application requirements.
