Products Description
Sodium dehydroacetate is a white to off‑white, odorless and tasteless powder. It dissolves well in water while showing low solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol. The compound features a melting point of 190 °C with outstanding light and heat resistance; its aqueous solution stays stable even after 2‑hour heating at 120 °C. Manufactured by spray‑drying technology, this powder delivers high purity of ≥98 %, low moisture content (≤2 %), and consistent performance. Its water solution is neutral to weakly alkaline.
