Citric acid with chemical formula C6H8O7 is a naturally occurring weak acid, available in citrus fruits like Lemon. The applications include acidity regulators, food applications and as scale remover in industries. Citric acid is commercially synthesized in large scale, to the tune 2 M MT per annum, of which more than 50% is manufactured at China. Commercially, Citric acid is available in two forms, namely Citric acid anhydrous and Citric acid monohydrate.
We offer Citric acid monohydrate and Citric acid anhydrous from a reputed Chinese manufacture, through direct import. Minimum order quantity is 1 FCL ( 25 MT), 25 kg bag packing, with out Pallet.
