Products classified under HTS 2918.16.50.10
Sodium Gluconate Technical Grade
Sodium gluconate is the sodium salt of gluconic acid, a carboxylic acid with alcohol function, classified under HTS 2918.16.50.10 as a chemically defined organic compound. This technical grade product is used primarily as a chelating agent in industrial cleaning formulations and concrete admixtures. It meets chapter 29 requirements for separate chemically defined compounds without exclusions.
Industrial Sodium Gluconate 98% Powder
High-purity 98% sodium gluconate powder used in water treatment as a corrosion inhibitor and scale preventer. This chemically defined salt of gluconic acid falls squarely under HTS 2918.16.50.10 per chapter notes for carboxylic acids with alcohol function. Supplied with anti-caking stabilizer permitted under chapter note (f).
Sodium Gluconate Concrete Retarder
Specialty sodium gluconate formulated as concrete set retarder for hot weather pouring applications. Classified under 2918.16.50.10 as pure sodium gluconate meeting chapter purity requirements. Used at 0.2-0.5% dosage in ready-mix concrete.
Sodium Gluconate 60% Liquid Solution
50-60% aqueous solution of sodium gluconate for industrial cleaning and textile processing. Chapter note (d) permits water solutions of defined compounds under 2918.16.50.10. Solvent used solely for transport safety as permitted.
Technical Sodium Gluconate for Detergents
Sodium gluconate specifically produced for phosphate-free detergent formulations as builder and iron chelator. Remains classified under 2918.16.50.10 as pure chemical compound. Typical assay 98% minimum.
Sodium Gluconate for Textile Bleaching
High-purity sodium gluconate used in peroxide bleaching baths for textiles to complex metal ions. Classified 2918.16.50.10 as gluconic acid sodium salt with alcohol function. Essential for maintaining bleach bath stability.
Food Grade Sodium Gluconate USP
Pharmaceutical/food grade sodium gluconate meets USP standards for use as a sequestrant in beverages and nutritional supplements. As the sodium salt of gluconic acid, it qualifies under 2918.16.50.10 for carboxylic acids with alcohol function. Chapter 29 applies to pure compounds regardless of food use, excluding mixtures.
Pharma Grade Sodium Gluconate EP/BP
European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia grade sodium gluconate for pharmaceutical applications like effervescent tablets and chelation therapy. As a chemically defined gluconate salt, properly classified in 2918.16.50.10. Meets strict heavy metals and microbial limits.
