Features & Benefits
- Product Highlights
- It forms a strong acidic aqueous solution; therefore, it can produce a low-pH solution.
- Compared to acetic acid and hydrochloric acid, it has no objectionable odor; therefore, it can be used as a substitute for those acids.
- Corroding metals less than other mineral acids, subsequently extends equipment life.
- After cleaning process, it can be rinsed immediately from equipment since it produces water soluble reaction yield.
- In bleaching operations, it can reduce paper pulp degradation when it combined with hypochlorite.
- It can be used for cleaning critical stainless steel equipment even for food handling since it has essentially no chlorides.
