Calcium Saccharate Tetrahydrate(CAS: 5793-89-5)

Calcium Saccharate Tetrahydrate is a white powder with a crystalline form. Its molecular weight is approximately 372.45 g/mol. It is slightly soluble in water and has low reactivity under normal conditions. This compound is stable under normal storage conditions but reacts with strong acids and bases.

Calcium Saccharate Tetrahydrate is typically synthesized by reacting calcium hydroxide with sodium saccharate. The process involves the formation of calcium saccharate, followed by the hydration to form the tetrahydrate. Common solvents include water, and the reaction is usually carried out under mild conditions.

Calcium Saccharate Tetrahydrate is used in a variety of industries, including pharmaceuticals as a preservative and stabilizer, in polymers for plastic modification, and in sensors for complexation reactions. It is also used in the food industry as a preservative and in semiconductors for surface treatment purposes.

When handling Calcium Saccharate Tetrahydrate, it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety glasses. Store the compound in a cool, dry place away from strong acids and bases. In case of a spill, use a fume hood and clean up with appropriate absorbents. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed guidance on handling and storage.
