Acetic Acid (Food Grade)
Food-grade acetic acid is a clear, colorless liquid organic compound with a pungent vinegar-like odor. It is a high-purity form of acetic acid specifically produced and processed for safe use in food applications. As the main component of vinegar (after dilution), it serves as a critical flavoring agent, pH adjuster, and preservative in the food industry. Food-grade acetic acid typically has a concentration of 80-100% (glacial acetic acid) or is diluted to lower concentrations (4-20%) for specific applications.
Caustic Soda Micropearls
Caustic Soda Micropearls are small, spherical, solid particles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) produced through specialized prilling or pelletizing techniques. They offer excellent flowability, high purity, and uniform size distribution, making them ideal for precise dosing and handling in industrial and chemical processes. The micropearls form is preferred in applications where dust control, ease of transport, and controlled dissolution rates are critical. Caustic Soda Micropearls exhibit strong alkalinity, are highly soluble in water with an exothermic reaction, and are widely used across many sectors including chemical manufacturing, water treatment, pulp and paper processing, and detergent production.
Citric Acid Anhydrous
Citric Acid Anhydrous is a white, crystalline organic acid widely used across food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial sectors.
