PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Description
Sodium Acetate is chemically designated CH3COONa, a hygroscopic powder very soluble in water. It is the sodium salt of acetic acid with alkalinizing, diuretic and electrolyte replacement properties. Following absorption, sodium acetate generates sodium bicarbonate, thereby raising blood and urine pH. In addition, this agent may increase serum sodium concentration. Sodium acetate could be used as additives in food, industry, concrete manufacture, heating pads and in buffer solutions. Medically, sodium acetate is important component as an electrolyte replenisher when given intravenously. It is mainly indicated to correct sodium levels in hyponatremic patients. It can be used also in metabolic acidosis and for urine alkalinization.
