Appearance: White crystalline powder
Sodium saccharinate dihydrate is the hydrated sodium salt form of saccharin, a synthetic aromatic sulfonimide. It is a chemically stable, non-reactive compound primarily used in technical formulations, electroplating baths, industrial cleaning agents, and laboratory reagents, where a stable, water-soluble organic sulfonate is needed.
Chemical and Physical Properties
Density: ~1.83 g/cm³
Melting Point: ~226°C (decomposes)
Solubility in Water: High (~430 g/L at 20°C)
Solubility in Organic Solvents: Slightly soluble in ethanol, insoluble in non-polar solvents
Odor: Odorless
Stability: Stable under standard conditions; hygroscopic
Form: Crystalline powder
Applications
Used in electroplating solutions (e.g., as a brightener in nickel plating)
Applied in laboratory chemistry as a reference sulfonamide compound
Utilized in technical formulations requiring non-reactive organic sulfonates
Sometimes used as a tracer or non-nutritive organic additive in R&D
Applicable in corrosion inhibition systems and specialty cleaners
