- Product Description
Water-Free Sodium Acetate | High-Purity Anhydrous Grade | Moisture-Sensitive Industrial Solutions
SHANXI ZHAOYI CHEMICAL CO., LTD has been making acetate products since 1988. Our production site is standardized and covers 27,000 ㎡. Each year we turn out 150,000 tons. Industrial and pharmaceutical buyers worldwide get high-purity Water-free sodium acetate from us. Formulations that are sensitive to moisture, such as chemical synthesis, pharmaceutical production, and exact pH control, work well with our anhydrous grade. Tested purity comes in at no less than 99.0%, and moisture stays below 0.5%. The product ships as a white crystalline powder that flows freely. It dissolves fast in water-based systems, and no pre-treatment is needed. In water-critical industrial processes, performance is far steadier and more dependable than with traditional trihydrate sodium acetate.

Key Features & Benefits
Anhydrous Formula Means More Active Content
Our this product goes through a professional dehydration step that strips out all of the crystal water. Hydrated sodium acetate variants still carry that water. Ours does not, so every unit of weight holds more active ingredient. This helps manufacturers get more out of their formulation and cut down on raw material dosage.
Improve Production Efficiency
This anhydrous grade dissolves fast. It spreads out evenly too. In most industrial operations, pre-dissolution steps are no longer needed. That shortens production cycles and makes daily operations run better. The material is a bit hygroscopic, so sealed handling is a must. Still, our moisture-proof packaging keeps it stable on long shipments and in long-term storage.
Same Quality in Every Batch & It Works With Many Systems
We stick to the safety rules that cover industrial work. Rules for food and pharma count as well. Heavy metals stay in check. Every stage of the process gets a quality check. Batch after batch, physical and chemical readings come out the same. Your current formulas work with it as they are. Nothing needs tweaking. Reformulation costs stay at zero.

How It Works
In lab and industrial systems, this product acts as a pH buffer. Once it dissolves, it breaks into sodium ions and acetate ions, and both are stable. Sudden pH swings get held back by that mix. Through manufacturing and testing, acidity stays steady.
Fine chemical synthesis depends on it. It serves as a catalytic helper and a reaction reagent. Adhesive production is another user. So is the making of pharmaceutical intermediates. Other precision chemical processes that cannot tolerate water rely on it too. Why? It holds no crystal water at all. That mostly stops the hydrolysis side reactions extra moisture would trigger.
In textile processing, it keeps dyeing and color fixation steady. How does that work? The pH of dyeing and printing baths holds stable. No extra moisture gets in either. Labs reach for it often as well. Preparing buffer solutions is one common job. Running chromatographic analysis is another. Getting pH calibration right counts too. Results then come out precise and repeatable.
Applications
Chemical Manufacturing Esterification reactions are one match. Polymer synthesis is another. Making many other organic compounds fits too. Moisture interference gets removed before it can harm reaction accuracy or product yield. After that, synthesis runs without trouble and stays steady.
Pharmaceutical Industry Drug formulas use it as a steady helper ingredient. Injectable solutions also count on it as a buffering agent. The moisture it holds stays very low. That point matters, because drug makers set tight ceilings on moisture.
Textile Processing Fixing dye and adjusting pH during printing is where mills lean on it heavily. It breaks down quickly. Free water never enters the mix. Dye then spreads more evenly, so the finished fabric comes out better.
Laboratory Use Analytical labs grab it all the time. Standard buffers get made with it. It helps calibrate pH values too, and it goes into the mobile phase for chromatography. Testing then runs accurately and holds steady.
Industrial pH Control Built for neutralization jobs in industry and for adjusting pH in wastewater. Readings stay level. Accuracy holds up over time. Plants keep inside discharge limits that way, and they still hit their production targets.

Certifications & Compliance
The ISO 9001 quality management system certificate belongs to our production base. Quality control runs the same way at every production link, with set standards and a system behind it. KOSHER and HALAL certification covers our products as well. So the ingredients fully meet what food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade uses call for.
Every product follows EU REACH rules and the usual international safety specs for chemicals. It also matches food additive standards used worldwide. Before shipping, each batch of Water-free sodium acetate goes through tough third-party testing. Buyers get full qualification papers and test reports, which makes customs clearance and quality checks easier.

Packaging Options
We adopt standard 25kg moisture-proof paper bags with inner PE liners to isolate external moisture and ensure product purity during storage and transportation. Plastic woven bags with enhanced moisture barrier layers are also available for long-term storage and harsh logistics environments.
We support bulk jumbo bag packaging and customized packaging solutions to adapt to customers’ different production and handling equipment. All packages are clearly marked with batch number, production date and detailed handling guidelines to achieve full product traceability.
Manufacturing Process
We use high-purity acetic acid and sodium-based raw materials, and the neutralization reaction is run with precision. Then the solution goes through several rounds of fine filtration. Heavy metals come out. So do impurities and any leftover contaminants.
Step one is controlled crystallization. Next comes centrifugal separation. After that the product goes through dehydration and drying. Both temperature and pressure stay inside a narrow band. Crystal water leaves at that point, so what is left comes out at anhydrous grade.
Milling and sieving come last, and they even out the particle size. Quality checks run the whole time, as the line works. Only batches that pass everything get packed. The packing room holds humidity steady and keeps dust out. That is how the quality stays consistent.

FAQ
Q: How does anhydrous sodium acetate differ from the trihydrate form?
A: A1: Moisture content is the main difference, along with the conditions tied to it. Our water free sodium acetate carries more active activity. Under 0.5% is where its moisture sits. Because of that, it fits any precision procedure that has trouble with moisture. Trihydrate sodium acetate only works for standard general industrial applications. Crystal water makes up about 40% of it.
Q: How should anhydrous sodium acetate be stored?
A: A2: Sealed containers are what you store the product in. Keep them in a dry warehouse. Airflow matters, and humidity should stay low. Do not open the packages over and over. Moisture from the air then has no way in. The product keeps the performance it had from the start.
Q: My formulas are already up and running. Can anhydrous grade take the place of trihydrate sodium acetate in them?
A: A3: Yes, a full swap works. The anhydrous form holds more active ingredient. Because of that, your usage amount must change. Our technical team gives dose conversion advice. They match it to your own formula.
Q: What industries often use anhydrous sodium acetate, the type that holds no water?
A: A4: Fine chemical synthesis is one big user. It shows up in pharma excipients too. Special adhesives need it as well. Textile printing and dyeing plants rely on it. Labs use it in precision analysis. There, moisture has to stay under tight control.
Q: Do customers get free samples so they can test the product?
A: A5: Yes. Qualified industrial buyers can get samples for free. Send us your request. Look at the quality. See how the product fits your use. Do that before you order in bulk.
