Oxalic Acid - Colorless Crystalline Solid, Ideal For Rust Removal And Bleaching Applications

We are the topmost Exporter, Manufacturer and Supplier of Oxalic Acid in Surat, Gujarat, India. Oxalic acid is an organic compound with the formula C2H2O4. It is a colorless crystalline solid that forms a colorless solution in water. Its condensed formula is HOOCCOOH, reflecting its classification as the simplest dicarboxylic acid. Its acid strength is much greater than that of acetic acid. Oxalic acid is a reducing agent [5] and its conjugate base, known as oxalate (C2O2a 4), is a chelating agent for metal cations. Typically, oxalic acid occurs as the dihydrate with the formula C2H2O4A.2H2O. Excessive ingestion of oxalic acid or prolonged skin contact can be dangerous. Oxalic acid's main applications include cleaning or bleaching, especially for the removal of rust (iron complexing agent). Bar Keepers Friend is an example of a household cleaner containing oxalic acid. Its utility in rust removal agents is due to its forming a stable, water-soluble salt with ferric iron, ferrioxalate ion.
