THERMAL PHOSPHORIC ACID 75, 85
FOOD GRADE
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT APPLICATION
Clear, colourless liquid with density of 1579 kg/m3 (type 75)
or 1685 kg/m3 (type 85) and freezing points of -18°C (type
75) or +21°C (type 85). Both concentrations of phosphoric
acid usually remain as supercooled liquids at temperatures
considerably below the true freezing point, but the type 85
may crystallize in cold weather.
The product is used in food processing as an additive
refining sugar, fats and edible oil. It is used as tonic agent in
the manufacturing of soft and carbonated beverages. It is
also used in the manufacturing of special catalysts, activated
carbon, gelatine, hydroxylamine, STPP and other pure
inorganic and organic phosphoric compounds. It is used as
phosphorus source in fermentation processes, in
biotechnology and biological cleaning of sewage waters and
in the manufacturing of liquid cleaning compositions.

Storage - Phosphoric acid is stored in closed acid-resistant
tanks protected against extreme temperatures. Storage tanks
for 85% acid should be heatable to avoid the crystallization of
the acid. For the storage of phosphoric acid in drums should
be allocated an indoor heated area, in case of 85% acid the
temperature should be higher than 21°C.
Shelf life: 24 months from production date when stored
properly.
