Sodium acetate trihydrate (NaCH3COO·3H2O) is a promising Phase Change Material (PCM) used to fabricate reusable heating pads and hand warmers because of its relative high heat of fusion. Its alkalinity (pH 8.5-9.5), as well as its low price, makes sodium acetate trihydrate the material for choice several applications including,
1. Bait for nematodes in pest control
2. Antibacterial, antifungal additive
3. Electrolyte
4. Electroplating bath reagent
5. Retardant in elastomer industry
6. pH buffer
7. Synthetic reagent / intermediate in dyes, pigments, pharmaceuticals, cinnamic acid, etc.
8. Anticoagulant
9. Biodegradable deicer substituting corrosive rock salt
10. Pickling agent in the chrome tanning
11. Concrete sealant
12. Seasoning agent
13. Biomolecule precipitant
14. Dyeing mordant
15. Chromatography agent
16. Safe neutralization agent of mineral acid discharges, etc.
