Citric acid is the intermediate product of the plants of a natural composition and physiological metabolism, is also one of the
organic acids widely used in the field of food, medicine, chemical industry. It is colorless transparent or translucent crystal,
or granular, particle powder, odorless, although has strong sour, but a pleasant, slightly astringent taste. In the warm air
gradually disintegrate, in the humid air, it is slight deliquescence.

Cleaning and chelating agent

Citric acid is an excellent chelating agent, binding metals by making them soluble. It is used to remove and discourage the buildup of limescale from boilers and evaporators. It can be used to treat water, which makes it useful in improving the effectiveness of soaps and laundry detergents. By chelating the metals in hard water, it lets these cleaners produce foam and work better without need for water softening.
