Why Use Sodium Gluconate in CIP?
Sodium Gluconate as Chelating (Sequestering) Agent
It binds hardness ions like:
-
Ca²⁺
-
Mg²⁺
-
Fe³⁺
This prevents:
-
Scale formation
-
Re-deposition of minerals
-
Water hardness interference
Sodium Gluconate also used as concrete retarder, water reducing agent. Also sodium gluconate as a retarders keep concrete workable during placement and delay the initial set of concrete an additional admixture which uses in mortar/concrete.
Dosage
Sodium Gluconate as Scale Control in Alkaline CIP
Sodium gluconate is highly effective in:
-
CaCO₃ scale removal
-
Iron oxide stabilization
-
Preventing precipitation in caustic solutions
Especially useful in high-temperature alkaline CIP (60–85°C).
Sodium Gluconate: Concrete admixture of set retarding agent or setting retarder, glass cleaning, metal cleaning, medical use.
Sodium Naphthalene Sulphonate Formaldehyde (SNF - A, B, C):
Sodium Ligno Sulphonate (SLS): For the construction industry, plasticizer for concrete. Dispersing Agent for Agrochemical formulations.

Sodium Gluconate is the sodium salt of gluconic acid and is produced by fermentation of glucose. It is a white granular, crystalline solid which is very soluble in water. It is non corrosive, non toxic, biodegradable and renewable. It is resistant to oxidation and reduction even at high temperatures. The main property of sodium gluconate is its excellent chelating power, especially in alkaline and concentrated alkaline solutions. It forms stable chelates with calcium, iron, copper, aluminium and other heavy metals. It is a superior chelating agent than EDTA, NTA and phosphonates.
