Tartaric Acid Extra Pure is a white, crystalline, highly water-soluble organic acid widely used in laboratory, pharmaceutical, food, and industrial applications. Known for its stable acidity and chelating properties, it is commonly employed as a reagent in analytical chemistry and as an acidulant in pharmaceuticals and effervescent tablets. In the food and cosmetic sectors, it serves as both a functional ingredient and a natural acid regulator. This Extra Pure grade is ideal for high-precision research and formulation applications requiring consistent quality and purity. It is biodegradable and generally safe when handled with standard precautions.
