Sodium oxalate, 99%

Description

CAS: 62-76-0 | C2Na2O4 | 134.00 g/mol

Sodium oxalate is used as reducing agent, as a primary standard for standardizing potassium permanganate solutions and as a neutralizer for exothermic acidic reactions. It finds application in metal cleaning preparations, metal extraction and separation, blueprint coatings, electroplating baths, special cement manufacturing, plant nutrition as well as in textile and pharmaceutical industries. It plays an important role to remove calcium ions from blood plasma and prevents blood clotting.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
