Main types:
According to the particle size, there are mainly 2 types:
1. 10~40 mesh;
2. 30~100 mesh.
Features:
1. Big solubility in water, alcohol and ether;
2. Among all the sour agents, CAA's acidity is the most accepted by human;
3. Water softening ability, it can combine the Ca2+ and other metal ions (except for alkali metal), and for the compounds (like Calcium citrate), their solubility in cold water is higher than hot water, which is a big advantage in detergent industry;
4. pH buffering ability;
5. Low toxic.
We are a leading supplier of electroplating chemicals, industrial polishing and welding consumables, water treatment, powder coating, fertilizers. We stock and carry an extensive range of ready to use chemicals. We deal with so many different chemicals and we would like you to contact us for more information about our different chemicals and products.

Citric Acid
Citric Acid (CA for short, also known as citric acid) is an important organic acid, colorless crystal appearance, odorless, easily soluble in water. According to its different water content, it is divided into monohydrate citric acid and anhydrous citric acid. The calcium salt of citric acid is easily dissolved in cold water than in hot water, this property is commonly used to identify and separate citric acid, and anhydrous citric acid can be obtained by controlling the appropriate temperature when crystallizing, which has many uses in industry, food industry, cosmetic industry, etc.
