Kingsun - Model 98%(min) -Sodium Gluconate
Sodium gluconate is also known as the sodium salt of gluconic acid. It is a white powder, non-toxic, and good in thermal stability. In addition, it is very soluble in water, slightly soluble in alcohol, insoluble in ether. It plays an important role in many aspects such as construction, textile printing, and dyeing.

Kingsun sodium gluconate powder has a wide range of applications such as in concrete, food, medical, soap, cosmetics, toothpaste, etc. It plays the role of concrete admixture in the construction industry, such as water reducing agent and concrete retarder. Besides, adding a certain amount of sodium gluconate 98% min to the cement can increase the plasticity and strength of the concrete. It can also delay the initial and final solidification time of the concrete.
Water Reducing Agent. It can reduce the mixing water consumption of concrete and increase the strength of concrete while maintaining the consistency of concrete, cement dosage and slump. The water to cement ratio (W/C) is constant, in this case, the addition of sodium gluconate can improve concrete workability. While the cement content remains the same, it can reduce the water content in the concrete. When the amount of sodium gluconate added is 0.1%, the amount of water added can reduce by 10%. Besides, it can reduce cement content.
Concrete Retarder. It can delay the setting time of concrete, moreover, it can extend the working time of concrete from a few hours to a few days without compromising strength. When you need to place concrete for a long time or the weather is hot, this is an advantage. As a concrete retarder, sodium gluconate retarder has many advantages in the construction industry.
- With sodium gluconate, the Water to Cement (W/C) ratio can be reduced, which increases the strength of the concrete and forms a high-quality concrete. Adding sodium gluconate in concrete can make higher strength and durability concrete.
- Large and heavyweight perfusion construction engineerings are very difficult. Due to the addition of sodium gluconate, the operability of concrete is improved, the setting time is delayed, the contact surface can be avoided on the structure, and the structural strength can be improved.
- Adding sodium gluconate to the concrete mixture can delay the setting time, which is important for long or difficult perfusion.
Now in the concrete industry, pre-mixed concrete is made at a central location and delivered by a mixer truck. In this case, it is important to delay the initial solidification time of concrete. - Oil well grouting is difficult to operate due to high temperatures. After adding sodium gluconate, the mud can work at 170℃ for several hours.
