1. High-Alkaline Cleaning & Bottle Washing (EDTA Replacement)

In high-alkaline cleaning, CIP systems and bottle washing, sodium glucoheptonate 99% complexes Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ ions to prevent scale and film formation. It is especially effective where traditional phosphate or EDTA formulas create rinsing or environmental issues. A typical example: when cleaning beer and milk glass bottles, alkaline cleaners can form hydroxide deposits with Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ that adhere to bottle walls. Sodium glucoheptonate provides the cleaning performance of phosphate-based formulas while being easier to rinse — improving water savings and environmental profile.

2. Metal Surface Treatment & Iron Chelation in Alkaline Systems

Rust removal and degreasing of low-carbon steel. Traditional rust removal and degreasing processes mainly use cyanide-based treatment agents, which decompose above 50°C and pose high toxicity, strong pollution and operational risks. With sodium glucoheptonate formulas, the treatment temperature can be increased and, under the synergistic effect with caustic soda, metal surface treatment efficiency is greatly improved. Sodium glucoheptonate 99% prevents electroplating solution precipitation, making the plating layer more compact and bright. Under the synergistic effect with caustic alkali, it can also remove existing paint on steel surfaces so they can be repainted, while inhibiting corrosion and scale.

3. Water Treatment & Descaling

Due to its good complexing properties and non-toxic profile, sodium glucoheptonate 99% is widely used in large water treatment devices and for alkaline descaling in boiler condensers and heat exchangers.

4. Stabilizer in Textile Bleaching & Dyeing

A large amount of peroxide is used when bleaching fabrics. The addition of sodium glucoheptonate can effectively complex metal ions of various valences, improving peroxide stability, work efficiency and reducing production costs.

5. Concrete Retarders & Additives

Sodium glucoheptonate 99% can have two effects when used as a concrete admixture: (1) Retarding effect — it extends cement hydration time and helps solve premature concrete setting; (2) Rebar corrosion inhibition — in reinforced concrete components, it can significantly alleviate steel rebar corrosion.

6. Fly Ash Treatment & Heavy Metal Stabilization

Sodium glucoheptonate 99% can effectively chelate various heavy metal ions. After stabilization treatment, heavy metal chelates become stable and resistant to decomposition, converting toxic and harmful substances in fly ash into water-insoluble inorganic minerals or polymer chelates — low solubility, low migration and low toxicity. The process features low energy consumption, easy operation and small capacity increase.

7. Heavy Metal Chelating Agent (EDTA / DTPA / ATMP Alternative)

Sodium glucoheptonate 99% has good complexing effect on a series of metal ions such as Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺, Mn²⁺, Co²⁺ and Ni²⁺, especially Fe³⁺. While one molecule of EDTA typically complexes one metal ion, sodium glucoheptonate 99% can complex multiple Fe³⁺ ions under appropriate conditions. It is positioned as an environmentally friendlier alternative to widely used heavy metal collectors such as EDTA, DTPA and ATMP.
