SODIUM VALERATE CAS NO.6106-41-8 Nanjing Shunxiang 99%min

Sodium Valerate is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)3COONa.It is a white crystalline or granular substance that is soluble in water.

Sodium valerate has two main uses. First, it is often used in chemistry laboratories as a component of neutral laboratory buffers to control the pH of solutions. Secondly, sodium valerate is also used in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and food additives. In the pharmaceutical field, it is used to regulate the pH of drugs and improve their stability and solubility. In the food industry, sodium valerate can be used as a preservative and flavoring agent for food.

Sodium valerate is usually obtained by reacting valeric acid with sodium hydroxide. First, the valeric acid is dissolved in a suitable amount of water, then the sodium hydroxide solution is added slowly, and after the reaction is completed, the pure sodium valerate crystals are obtained by filtration. The preparation process should be safe, avoiding contact with skin and eyes as well as avoiding inhalation of its dust.

The safety of sodium valerate is relatively good. It is not harmful under normal conditions, but safe handling is still required when using it to avoid contact with the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. In case of accidental contact, flush immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention. In addition, when stored, it should be placed in a dry, ventilated place, protected from light, and kept away from sources of ignition and oxidizing agents.
