Citric Acid Monohydrate 25 kg

Bulk Citric Acid for Food Manufacturing and Industrial Cleaning

Citric Acid Monohydrate in a 25 kg package is a raw material whose global demand comes primarily from the food industry and household chemical manufacturing rather than home cooking alone. In food production this compound acts as a preservative and acidity regulator in beverages, canned goods, sauces, and confectionery, while in cleaning product manufacturing it serves as the core acidic component for descaling agents and dishwasher formulations. This item belongs to the Acids, Salts, Alcohols, and Alkalis section, which gathers ingredients for pH adjustment and formula stabilization across multiple industries. The 25 kg bulk format is designed for factory-scale and conveyor production lines, where consistent supply and batch-to-batch quality matter more than a single small purchase.

In food manufacturing, citric acid is added during syrup, marinade, and beverage preparation at dosages of roughly 1-5 g per liter of finished product, preventing sugar crystallization, enhancing flavor, and extending shelf life by inhibiting microbial growth. In household chemical production, the acid is the main active ingredient in descaling agents and dishwasher tablets, where its concentration in the finished formula typically ranges from 15% to 30%. In cosmetic manufacturing, the compound is used for gentle pH adjustment of creams, shampoos, and toners — usually 0.1-1% is enough, introduced at the final production stage at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees to protect other active ingredients from degradation.

The ingredient pairs well with alkaline components in the production of effervescent tablets and bath bombs, and with other acids for precise pH fine-tuning of cosmetic and household formulas — for instance, it complements Ascorbic Acid nicely in antioxidant skincare formulations. In cleaning and degreasing blends it is often combined with Washing Soda (Soda Ash), producing a foaming neutralization reaction widely used in household chemistry and industrial equipment cleaning. In dermatological and cosmetology practice, a related task of skin surface renewal is handled by Salicylic Acid 20% Peel, although its mechanism of action is fundamentally different.

Citric Acid Monohydrate should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area, in tightly closed packaging, away from moisture and direct sunlight, at a temperature up to 25 degrees. Under proper storage conditions the product retains its properties for the entire declared shelf life, which is particularly important when purchasing large volumes for extended production cycles.

Industrial descaling solution for equipment

Citric Acid Monohydrate 250 g

Hot water 1200 ml

Dissolve the citric acid in hot water at around 55 degrees, stirring until the crystals fully dissolve. Pour the resulting solution into the tank or component affected by limescale, let it sit for 40 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. For larger industrial volumes, scale the proportions up while keeping the same acid-to-water ratio.
