In electroplating processes Sodium Acetate 3-hydrate is crucial for enhancing the quality and uniformity of metal coatings. It acts as a buffering agent, maintaining a stable pH in the plating bath, which is essential for consistent metal deposition. Additionally, it serves as a complexing agent, ensuring a steady supply of metal ions and improving adhesion, leading to more durable and robust coatings. By stabilizing the plating solution, Sodium Acetate 3-hydrate minimizes plating defects such as pitting and in consistent thickness.
Key benefits of Sodium Acetate in Surface Treatments:
Lohtragon® K16 is widely used in energy applications as a phase change material (PCM) in thermal energy storage systems. It can store and release significant amounts of latent heat during its solid-liquid phase transitions, making it ideal for heat storage in renewable energy systems. Additionally, it is used in reusable heat packs and thermal regulation devices, providing a controlled thermal source for medical heat therapy and maintaining temperature in electronic devices.
