Sodium acetate - Solution 20 p A


Sodium acetate is used in the textile industry to neutralize sulfuric acid waste streams, and as a photoresist while using aniline dyes. There is also a pickling agent in chrome tanning, and it helps to retard vulcanization of chloroprene in synthetic rubber production.
Sodium acetate may be added to foods as a spice. It can be used in the form of sodium diacetate - a 1:1 complex of sodium acetate and acetic acid, as the E number E262. A common use of this form is in salt and vinegar chips in the United States. Many U.S. brands, including sale of national manufacturer Frito-Lay, "seasoned salt and vinegar" chips that use this chemical, with milk sugar and small amounts of other chemicals that instead of a real salt and vinegar preparation.
