GLUCONIC ACID 50% TECHNICAL GRADE

Product Description:

This product is Gluconic Acid 50% solution in water, offered in technical grade quality. It's a versatile, naturally-derived organic acid known for its chelating and cleaning properties. Ideal for various industrial applications where high purity isn't a critical requirement. This 50% solution offers a convenient concentration for ease of handling and dilution, reducing the need for significant dilution prior to use.

Key Features:

• 50% Concentration: Provides a convenient, ready-to-use solution, minimizing handling and storage space compared to higher concentrations or solid forms.
• Technical Grade: Suitable for a wide range of industrial applications where the highest purity isn't a primary concern. Meets specifications for many common industrial uses.
• Biodegradable & Environmentally Friendly: Gluconic acid is a naturally occurring compound and is readily biodegradable, making it a preferable choice compared to some harsher chemicals.
• Excellent Chelating Agent: Effectively binds to metal ions, preventing scale formation and improving the efficiency of cleaning processes.
• Mild Acidity: Offers a less corrosive alternative to stronger acids in certain applications.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for various industrial cleaning, metal processing, and food processing applications (check local regulations for food-grade usage).

Typical Applications:

• Cleaning & Descaling: Effective in removing mineral deposits from industrial equipment and surfaces, particularly in hard water areas.
• Metal Finishing: Used as a chelating agent in metal cleaning, pickling, and electroplating processes.
• Cement Admixtures: Can improve workability and setting time of concrete.
• Textile Processing: Assists in improving the dyeing and finishing processes.
• Food Industry (Consult Regulations): May be used as a pH adjuster or chelating agent in certain food products (check local regulations and ensure food-grade specification is met – this product is technical grade).
• Other Industrial Applications: Various other applications exist depending on specific requirements.
