🧪 How to Use Phosphoric Acid 45% (Step-by-Step):

1. Rust Removal / Metal Cleaning:

• Dilute 100ml Phosphoric Acid 45% with 900ml water (always add acid to water).

• Apply solution to rusted metal surface using a brush or sponge.

• Allow contact for 10–20 minutes, depending on severity.

• Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry metal before coating.

2. Industrial Descaling:

• Prepare 1 part acid to 4 parts water.

• Circulate through equipment for 15–30 minutes.

• Flush system thoroughly with deionised or distilled water.

3. Laboratory Reagent Preparation:

• Use for preparation of phosphate compounds or pH control experiments.

• Measure accurately using laboratory-grade equipment.

4. Surface Preparation for Coating:

• Apply diluted solution (1:5 ratio) to clean and etch metal prior to painting or coating.

• Rinse and dry completely before applying coating.

5. pH Adjustment (Industrial Processes):

• Add small increments (10–30ml per 10L) to desired solution.

• Monitor pH continuously until target level is achieved.

⚠️ Safety Precautions:

• Wear acid-resistant gloves, goggles, and face protection.

• Work in well-ventilated or controlled environments.

• Store upright in UN approved fluorinated HDPE containers.

• Do not mix with alkalis, bleach, or oxidising chemicals.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

1. What makes Phosphoric Acid 45% different from 20% or 30%?
It’s a stronger concentration, ideal for heavy-duty industrial cleaning and rust removal.

2. Is the container safe for long-term storage?
Yes, it’s supplied in UN approved fluorinated HDPE bottles that resist corrosion and chemical breakdown.

3. Can I use this on stainless steel or aluminium?
Avoid direct use on aluminium. Stainless steel is generally safe, but test a small area first.

4. How long does it last in storage?
Shelf life is 2–3 years when stored sealed and away from direct sunlight.

5. Is this food-grade phosphoric acid?
No, this is industrial/laboratory grade and not for food or beverage use.
