SODIUM TARTRATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Sodium Tartrate is a white, crystalline organic compound with the chemical formula Na2C4H4O6. It is used in various industrial, chemical, and food applications primarily as a buffering agent, emulsifier, and sequestrant. In the food industry, Sodium Tartrate is commonly used in processed foods, dairy products, and beverages to stabilize texture, enhance flavor, and maintain quality. It is also employed in the formulation of certain cleaning agents and detergents, providing effective removal of dirt, grease, and stains. In the chemical industry, Sodium Tartrate is used as a reagent in the synthesis of various compounds and as a chelating agent in water treatment to prevent the formation of scale and deposits. Proper handling and storage of Sodium Tartrate are essential to maintain its quality and prevent moisture absorption. It is generally considered safe for consumption and use, although proper safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are essential to prevent irritation and other health hazards. Its versatility and effectiveness make Sodium Tartrate a valuable chemical in numerous applications.
