Why Is Sodium Gluconate Used in Concrete? Sodium gluconate is the sodium salt of gluconic acid and is used in a range of industrial formulations. In concrete admixture systems, one of its common functions is related to setting-time control. It may be used as a retarding component in formulations where the concrete needs additional working
