Description
1. Product Overview
Phosphoric Acid 85% is a high-purity inorganic acid widely used as an industrial cleaning and descaling agent for removing mineral deposits, rust, and scale from metal surfaces and process equipment. Its strong yet controlled acidity makes it highly effective for dissolving calcium carbonate, iron oxides, and other scale-forming compounds commonly found in industrial systems.
As a critical maintenance chemical, it supports operational efficiency by restoring heat transfer performance, improving equipment longevity, and reducing downtime. Strategically, Phosphoric Acid 85% plays a key role in industrial cleaning programs across manufacturing, water treatment, and energy sectors where scale management directly impacts productivity and asset reliability.

Performance & Cost Advantages
Phosphoric Acid 85% provides highly effective scale dissolution without the extreme aggressiveness associated with stronger mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid. This balanced reactivity enables efficient scale removal while reducing the risk of excessive metal corrosion when properly formulated.
Its ability to convert iron oxide into protective phosphate layers enhances corrosion resistance after cleaning, extending equipment service life. The high concentration allows flexible dilution for different cleaning intensities, improving operational efficiency and reducing chemical consumption costs.
