Phosphoric Acid is a colorless, odorless liquid that is widely used in industrial and food-grade applications. Available in concentrations of 75% and 85%, it is a versatile inorganic acid known for its non-volatile and moderately strong acidic properties. Phosphoric Acid is a key raw material in many industries due to its ability to act as an acidifying agent, rust remover, or a pH stabilizer.
Product FAQ
Phosphoric Acid 75% and 85% are widely used across several industries. The fertilizer industry utilizes it as a critical ingredient in phosphate fertilizers. In food and beverages, it serves as an acidulant in soft drinks and processed foods. The chemical manufacturing sector uses it for producing phosphate salts and detergents. It is also employed in metal treatment for rust removal and in water treatment to prevent scale formation. Additionally, pharmaceutical applications benefit from its use as a pH stabilizer in formulations.
Phosphoric Acid is used in fertilizer production to create ammonium phosphate and superphosphate. It acts as an acidulant in food and beverages, enhancing flavor and preservation. In metal treatment, it removes rust and prepares surfaces for painting or coating. It is utilized in water treatment to prevent scale formation and corrosion. The acid also finds applications in detergent manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and as a catalyst in various chemical reactions.
Phosphoric Acid is commonly synthesized through the wet process, where phosphate rock reacts with sulfuric acid to produce phosphoric acid and gypsum as a byproduct. For higher purity, it can also be manufactured using the thermal process, where elemental phosphorus is burned in the presence of air and water. The concentration is adjusted to 75% or 85% depending on the intended application, followed by purification to meet industrial or food-grade standards.
FAQ About Us
Why do you prioritize working with European suppliers?
With years of experience operating in Europe, we source through a network of trusted partners. European products are renowned for their consistent high quality and perfect alignment with U.S. standards. Additionally, shipping from Europe to the U.S. East Coast is more efficient, bypassing the Panama Canal and minimizing logistical complexity.
Do you only work with U.S. companies?
U.S. companies are preferred due to their strong investment capabilities and the ease of operating under U.S. laws. With our U.S.-based presence, communication and collaboration remain seamless.
Do you cater more to distributors or end-users?
We lean towards working with distributors, as they can handle customs declarations and deliver products efficiently to end-users. However, we’re open to working directly with end-users who are ready to navigate the learning curve of direct sourcing. For both, we’re here to provide reliable support and tailored solutions.
