Applications:

Industrial Applications

• Metal Treatment: Used in the manufacturing process to clean and prepare metals, especially for rust removal and surface preparation before painting or coating.
• Rust Removal: Acts as an efficient rust remover for steel and other metals, often used in industrial cleaning solutions.
• Phosphate Coatings: Phosphoric acid is crucial for creating phosphate coatings on metals to improve paint adhesion and corrosion resistance.
• Water Treatment: Used in industrial water treatment processes to control pH levels and prevent scale formation.

Agricultural Applications

• Fertilizer Production: Phosphoric acid is a key ingredient in the production of phosphate fertilizers, which are essential for plant growth. It is used to produce monoammonium phosphate (MAP) and diammonium phosphate (DAP).
• Soil pH Adjustment: Used to adjust the pH of soil to ensure optimal growing conditions for crops.

Cleaning Applications

• Descaling Agents: Phosphoric acid is effective at removing mineral deposits, scale, and hard water stains, making it an ingredient in descalers for boilers, pipes, and household appliances.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Found in cleaning agents for removing hard water stains, rust, and mineral deposits on surfaces like tiles and sinks.

Pharmaceutical and Healthcare

• Dental and Medical Products: Used in dental cements and teeth whitening products due to its acidic properties.
• Pharmaceuticals: Sometimes used as an ingredient in medications to adjust pH levels or act as a buffering agent.

Cosmetic & Personal Care

• pH Adjuster: Included in personal care and cosmetic products such as shampoos, skincare products, and creams to adjust their acidity and ensure product stability.

Automotive Industry

• Surface Treatment: Phosphoric acid is used in the treatment of automotive parts to prevent rust and prepare surfaces for painting or coating.
• Battery Production: Utilized in the production of lead-acid batteries, particularly in the formation of the battery plates.

Storage Conditions:

• Temperature: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. The optimal storage temperature is between 10°C and 30°C (50°F to 86°F). Avoid exposure to high temperatures, as phosphoric acid can become more corrosive at elevated temperatures.
• Humidity: Keep the storage area dry to prevent the accumulation of moisture that can lead to container corrosion or degradation of the acid’s quality.
• Protect from Freezing: Phosphoric acid can crystallize at low temperatures, so it is important to prevent freezing. If crystallization occurs, gentle warming and stirring can help re-dissolve the crystals.
