Calcium Acetate Mono 98%

Calcium Acetate Monohydrate 98% is an inorganic salt with the chemical formula Ca(CH₃COO)₂·H₂O, typically available as a white, odorless crystalline powder or fine granules. It contains one molecule of water of crystallization, which contributes to its stability and handling characteristics compared to the anhydrous (dried) form.

This compound is highly soluble in water, producing clear solutions that are neutral to slightly alkaline. With a purity of around 98%, it is widely used in pharmaceutical, food, and industrial applications. In the pharmaceutical field, it serves as a calcium supplement and phosphate binder, while in the food industry it is used as a firming agent, stabilizer, and preservative (E263).

Calcium acetate monohydrate also finds applications in textile processing, chemical synthesis, and wastewater treatment, where it helps regulate pH and remove impurities. It is chemically stable under normal conditions but may absorb additional moisture if exposed to humid environments.

The product should be stored in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture and contamination. It is generally considered safe for handling with standard precautions, though contact with eyes, skin, and inhalation of dust should be avoided.
