Sodium succinate hexahydrate(CAS: 6106-21-4)

Sodium succinate hexahydrate is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C4H4NaO4·6H2O. It is a colorless crystalline salt with a sweet taste. It is commonly used in pharmaceuticals, food, and research due to its buffering and stabilization properties.

Sodium succinate hexahydrate is widely used as a pH regulator and stabilizer in pharmaceuticals, food additives, and research. It serves as a buffering agent in biopharmaceutical processes and can also be found in cosmetics and detergents for its chelating properties.

Sodium succinate hexahydrate is considered safe for use in food and pharmaceuticals. It is non-toxic and non-flammable. However, it should be handled with care to prevent skin contact and inhalation. Protective gloves and proper ventilation are recommended during handling.

Sodium succinate hexahydrate should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. It should be kept in a sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. Ideal storage conditions are 15-25°C (59-77°F) with a relative humidity below 60% to ensure stability and prevent degradation.
