Calcium acetate Description
H&Z® Calcium Acetate is the calcium salt of acetic acid. It has the formula Ca(C2H3OO)2. Its standard name is Calcium Acetate, while calcium ethanoate is the systematic IUPAC name. An older name is acetate of lime. The Anhydrous form is very hygroscopic; Therefore the Monohydrate (Ca(CH3COO)2? H2O is the common form.
If an alcohol is added to a saturated solution of Calcium Acetate, a semisolid, flammable gel forms that is much like "canned heat" products such as Sterno. Chemistry teachers often prepare "California Snowballs", a mixture of Calcium Acetate solution and ethanol. The resulting gel is whitish in color, and can be formed to resemble a snowball.

Calcium acetate Application:
Chelating agent, mildew-retarding agent, stabilizer, buffer agent, fumette, PH value regulator, preservative;
1.Calcium acetate in the food industry has served as a mold suppression agent stabilizer,buffer and increasing the use of scent, which itself has excellent calcium, which also canbe used for medicine, chemical reagents.
2.As feed mould inhibitor, used for protein feed, bait feed, full price feed of aquatic animals such as bait, feed processing enterprises, research institutes and other animal feed mildew ideal with the agent.
3.In medicine, other propionate can be made into powder, solution and ointment treatment of skin disease caused by parasitic fungus.
