Phosphoric Acid 85% Technical Grade

Phosphoric Acid 85% technical grade is a concentrated inorganic acid primarily used as a raw material in manufacturing phosphate fertilizers, such as MAP and DAP. It is also employed in metal surface treatment processes to remove rust or as a passivating agent. The acid's strong corrosion properties demand strict adherence to storage and handling protocols to prevent damage to equipment and maintain safety. In industrial chemical processes, this grade of phosphoric acid facilitates acidulation reactions and acts as a reaction medium for other chemical syntheses. Its clear, viscous liquid form allows precise dosing into formulations. Proper storage requires sealed, corrosion-resistant containers placed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances such as alkalis. Across East Africa, Finstar Chemicals supplies this acid in bulk drums with consistent quality and batch certification, supporting procurement across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda. Industrial buyers appreciate the reliable supply and compliance documentation that ease import and regulatory processes. In fertilizer manufacturing, phosphoric acid’s concentration directly impacts phosphorus content and reaction efficiency. Using lower-grade or impure acid reduces yield and increases impurity levels in finished products. Therefore, the technical grade at 85% concentration strikes a balance between process efficiency and cost, making it the preferred choice. Environmental and safety compliance guidelines specify the use of PPE and spill containment when handling this acid.
