Sodium acetate, also known as sodium ethanoate, is an organic salt with a wide range of applications.

In the food industry, sodium acetate is used as an acidity regulator (E262). The acetate ion imparts a salty and sour taste to potato chips.

In construction industry, sodium acetate is used in concrete processing to mitigate the effects of water. It acts as a waterproofing agent and is cheaper than epoxy resins used as analogues.

In laboratories, sodium acetate is used as a pH buffer to maintain a constant medium. It is used in biochemical reactions where a mild acidic medium (pH 4-6) is required. Sodium acetate is used as a carbon source in the cultivation of bacteria. It is used to increase the amount of DNA isolated by ethanol.

In schools, sodium acetate is used in hot ice experiments. A saturated solution of sodium acetate is made and cooled in a refrigerator. Touching the solution causes instant crystallisation, when the clear solution turns into a white solid crystal. It can also be used in the cultivation of fibre crystals.

In the textile industry, sodium ethanoate is used to neutralise waste sulphuric acid and also as a photo-protectant in aniline dyes. In the manufacture of cotton cushions, sodium acetate is used to dissipate static charge. It is also used in conjunction with chromium salts in textile processing.

In cosmetics, sodium acetate is used as a mild food preservative. It can also be used as a buffer to maintain a uniform pH level throughout the life of the product. Main INCI functions:

• pH adjuster: Stabilises the pH of cosmetics.
• Masking: Reduces or suppresses the odour or main flavour of the product
