Line-specific questions
Food Grade Phosphoric Acid 85% — buyer questions
Documentation, pack choice, storage and custom specifications for this line.
Ask the technical desk01 What documentation ships with Food Grade Phosphoric Acid 85%?
Every dispatch carries a lot-specific certificate of analysis, the current safety data sheet revision, a GST tax invoice, a packing list and the origin weighbridge slip. Export consignments add an IMDG declaration and, on request, a certificate of origin. The COA is issued against the actual batch number and retained in our archive for twelve months.
02 Which pack format should we specify?
Stock options for this line include 35 kg HM-HDPE Carboys; 300 kg UN-Rated HM-HDPE Drums; 1,600 kg Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC). Trial work usually starts with a carboy or drum; production volumes move to IBCs, jumbo bags or tankers where the product and site permit. The load estimator below converts tonnage into units, pallets and container utilisation for each pack.
03 How should Food Grade Phosphoric Acid 85% be stored?
Store in dedicated food-grade acid storage tanks or sealed HDPE carboys/IBCs. Ambient temperature 15°C to 30°C. Protect from freezing (crystallizes at ~21°C for 85%). Recommended shelf life: 36 months under recommended warehouse conditions. Incompatible materials include Strong bases and caustic solutions; Cyanides and sulfides (releases toxic gases); Mild steel and cast iron.
04 Can you supply against a customer-specific specification?
Yes, for repeat volumes. Send the assay, moisture, trace-metal and packing limits to the technical desk. We check them against the source plant’s capability, run a trial lot where needed, and hold the agreed limits in the annual supply agreement. Standard stock material remains available in parallel.
07 Procurement desk
