PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Description
Sodium acetate (CH₃COONa), a hygroscopic powder highly soluble in water, is the sodium salt of acetic acid with alkalinizing, diuretic, and electrolyte-replenishing properties. Upon absorption, it generates sodium bicarbonate, thereby increasing blood and urine pH and potentially elevating serum sodium levels. It is used as an additive in food, industrial processes, concrete production, heating pads, and buffer solutions. Medically, it serves as a key electrolyte replenisher administered intravenously, primarily indicated for correcting sodium levels in hyponatremic patients, as well as for treating metabolic acidosis and urine alkalinization.
