Product Overview
ORTHO PHOSPHORIC ACID 85% AR Grade is a high-concentration, analytical reagent grade solution known for its exceptional purity and versatile acidic properties. This colorless to slightly yellow viscous liquid is free from heavy metals and other contaminants that could interfere with sensitive laboratory procedures. The 85% concentration provides strong acidic characteristics while maintaining stability during storage. Its high purity ensures reliable performance in analytical applications, organic synthesis, and buffer preparation. Packaged in corrosion-resistant containers with secure sealing, it retains its concentration and quality over extended periods. The acid’s triprotic nature allows for precise pH control in various experimental setups. Its versatility extends to cleaning applications where it effectively removes mineral deposits and organic residues from laboratory equipment. The product’s ability to form stable complexes with metal ions makes it particularly valuable in analytical chemistry and industrial processes. When used in biochemical applications, it serves as a component in buffer systems that maintain stable pH environments. The acid’s relatively low volatility compared to other mineral acids enhances its safety profile during handling and storage.
