Citric acid, also known popularly as lemon salt, is an organic compound of the carboxylic acid group. It is found in most plants and in the body fluids of animals. It is widely used in the food industry, as well as in metal surface cleaning, the pharmaceutical industry, construction chemicals and the textile sector.

CAS No: 141-43-5

An amine with both alcohol and amine properties, used in detergents, personal care, textile finishing and wood-processing products, and in oil-well and metalworking products for corrosion prevention. It is also used as a cement grinding aid and as a building block in the production of triazine-based corrosion inhibitors.

CAS No: 6419-19-8

A crystalline powder with excellent chelation properties. It is used in cold-water systems, oil refineries, oilfield pipelines and the metal sectors. In textiles it is used as a chelating agent in weaving and dyeing processes.

CAS No: 2809-21-4

Hydroxyethylidene diphosphonic acid (HEDP) is an odourless organic phosphonate. It is a good sequestrant and is highly effective against calcium, iron, copper and zinc ions. It performs well in water treatment plants, maintains its stability in the presence of chlorine and can dissolve oxidation on metal surfaces. It is a good scale and corrosion inhibitor with good stability at high pH values. It is used in water cooling and treatment systems, swimming-pool detergents, metal surface treatments and the textile sector.

CAS No: 67-63-0

IPA is a colourless chemical with a low boiling point that is fully miscible with water. As a solvent it is used in vegetable oils and paints, in cellulose derivatives, as an antifreeze in fuel oil and in extraction processes.

CAS No: 1310-73-2

A basic chemical material used as a high-purity reagent. It is widely used in the chemical, metallurgy, papermaking, oil, textile and everyday-use chemical industries.
