Sodium Gluconate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Gluconic Acid Sodium Salt
- Gluconate Sodium
- E576
- Sodium D-Gluconate
Sodium gluconate supplier for concrete admixture, industrial cleaning, water-treatment, textile and food buyers in Malaysia. Also known as gluconic acid sodium salt, gluconate sodium and E576, this water-soluble sodium salt of gluconic acid is selected as a mild organic chelant and set-retarding concrete additive.
Commercial grades include technical powder for concrete retarders, cleaners and process chelation, food grade material controlled as E576, and cleaning or chelant grades dissolved for dosing in industrial baths. Typical material is a white to tan crystalline powder, readily soluble in water, with a near-neutral pH in dilute solution.
In Malaysia the main industrial use is concrete: sodium gluconate retards set and supports water reduction through chelation of cement minerals. Cleaners and metal finishers use it to hold hardness and iron in solution; textile dyers use it in the bath; water treaters use it for mild sequestration; food processors may specify E576 where a food-additive grade is required.
Send the required grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Sodium Gluconate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical grade sodium gluconate | white to tan crystalline powder | — | Concrete set retarder and water-reducing admixture, industrial cleaning and metal-surface chelation, textile dyeing baths and general process sequestration where a food-additive specification is not required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Food grade sodium gluconate (E576) | white crystalline powder | — | Food-additive sequestrant and acidity regulator (E576) in suitable food and beverage formulations where metal-ion control and mild pH buffering are needed. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Industrial cleaning and chelant grade | free-flowing powder, dissolved for dosing | — | Alkaline and neutral cleaner concentrates, bottle washing, metal cleaning and process baths where gluconate chelates hardness ions and keeps iron and other metals in solution. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about sodium gluconate
What is sodium gluconate used for in concrete?
Technical grade sodium gluconate is widely used as a set retarder and water-reducing admixture. Through chelation of cement minerals it extends workability, which helps ready-mix and site concrete in hot weather or on longer haul distances. State the concrete use and any admixture performance target when enquiring.
Is sodium gluconate a chelating agent?
Yes. It is the sodium salt of gluconic acid and is used as a mild organic chelant for calcium, magnesium, iron and related metal ions in cleaning, water treatment, textiles and metal finishing. For Malaysian industrial demand, concrete admixture use is often the primary technical application.
Which grade should I request, technical or food?
Technical grade suits concrete admixtures, industrial cleaners, textile baths and general process chelation. Food grade is selected when the material must meet food-additive expectations as E576. Do not substitute one for the other without checking documentation and specification needs.
What specifications should a buyer provide?
State appearance and form, grade (technical or food), pH of solution if relevant, assay or purity limit if your process has one, and any moisture or impurity controls. For food use, include the E576 or food-spec requirement. Attach a current specification if matching existing supply.
Can packing and documents be confirmed with the quotation?
Yes. List preferred pack format and any product documents required in the enquiry. Available packing, documentation and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
What details are needed for a sodium gluconate price enquiry?
Provide the grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and documentation so the quotation can address the full requirement.
