Sodium Acetate

Basics

• The sodium salt of Acetic Acid
• reacting Aqueous Acetic Acid with Sodium Hydroxide produces this
• It is often used as a Phase Change Material in re-usable heating pads
  • This may be adaptable to a closed loop meta-stable Thermal Storage system?
    • IE not dehydrating + rehydrating something
• Also supposedly has a use case as a Concrete Sealant , in Vulcanizing Chloroprene Synthetic Rubber , and as a componet of some Photoresists
  • Needs Verification
