Sodium Gluconate 99% | Chelating Agent for Fertilizers, Concrete & Water Treatment
Product Overview of Sodium Gluconate
Sodium Gluconate is a high-performance organic chelating agent produced via fermentation of glucose. With excellent complexation capacity toward multivalent metal ions, it is widely applied in agriculture, construction, water treatment, and various industrial systems.
Its unique molecular structure enables stable chelation under neutral to alkaline conditions, making it particularly effective in environments where traditional chelating agents may fail.
At Wellyou Tech, our Sodium Gluconate is manufactured under strict quality control, ensuring high purity, low impurities, and consistent batch-to-batch performance.
Functional Mechanism
Sodium Gluconate acts as a multi-dentate ligand, forming stable complexes with metal ions such as:
- Ca²⁺
- Mg²⁺
- Fe³⁺
- Al³⁺
This chelation mechanism:
- Prevents precipitation and nutrient fixation
- Enhances solubility of micronutrients
- Maintains ion availability under high pH conditions
- Improves formulation stability in liquid systems
Key Advantages of Sodium Gluconate
1. Superior Chelation Performance
Maintains metal ions in soluble and plant-available forms, especially in alkaline soils.
2. Wide pH Stability Range
Effective performance in pH 4–10 systems, outperforming many conventional chelating agents.
3. Excellent Compatibility
Fully compatible with:
- NPK liquid fertilizers
- Micronutrient blends
- Seaweed extracts & biostimulants
- Amino acid formulations
4. Anti-Precipitation & Stabilization
Prevents crystallization and sedimentation in high-concentration liquid fertilizers.
5. Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable
Derived from natural glucose fermentation, readily biodegradable and safe for sustainable agriculture.
