Description
What is Calcium Acetate?
Calcium acetate is an organic calcium salt that is usually supplied as a hydrated, white crystalline powder. It is used in industrial processes such as polymer chemistry, textile treatment and wood preservation. DutchChems supplies high purity calcium acetate for professional purposes.
What do you use Calcium Acetate for?
Calcium acetate has several uses:
- Polymer and resin production – raw material / accelerator in thermosetting systems.
- Wood preservative – component in calcium soaps for the protection of wooden objects.
- Textile processing – used as a pickling salt in printing and dyeing procedures.
- Laboratory reagent – buffer or calcium source in various syntheses.
Properties of Calcium Acetate
Calcium acetate is highly soluble in water (exothermic) and forms neutral to slightly basic solutions. It reacts with carbonate and phosphate sources to form sparingly soluble salts, making it useful as a precipitating reagent in analytical chemistry.
Other common areas of application:
-
Stabilizing additive in cement and mortar formulations.
