About Phosphoric Acid 85% Food Grade

Phosphoric Acid 85% Food Grade is a versatile inorganic acid commonly employed in food processing as a pH control agent and acidulant. Its reliable quality and concentration ensure consistent performance in beverages, dairy products, and confections. Industrially, it serves as a rust inhibitor in metal treatment and a cleaning agent for mineral scales. Handling this acid requires caution due to its corrosive nature; storage in cool, dry, and ventilated areas helps maintain stability, especially in tropical climates. Finstar Chemicals supplies this product with appropriate documentation and packaging options suitable for industrial use. Our distribution channels cover Kenya with responsive logistics to support continuous production and plant requirements. Procuring through Finstar ensures access to certified quality and compliance documentation essential for regulatory adherence in food and chemical sectors.
