FAQs

What is phosphoric acid 5% (w/w) used for?

Phosphoric acid 5% (w/w) is used across laboratory, industrial, agricultural, and water treatment applications. Common uses include pH adjustment, cleaning and descaling, nutrient control in fertigation, water treatment processes, and chemical workflows requiring a mild, controlled acid solution.

What does a 5% (w/w) concentration mean?

A 5% (w/w) concentration means the solution contains 5 grams of phosphoric acid per 100 grams of solution. This provides moderate acidity, making it suitable for applications that require effective acidification without the hazards associated with higher-concentration phosphoric acid solutions.

What does reagent grade indicate for this product?

Reagent grade indicates the solution is produced using controlled-quality starting materials, typically ACS grade, and is suitable for laboratory and regulated applications. A Certificate of Analysis is available, supporting traceability, consistency, and confidence in chemical composition and performance.

Why is this phosphoric acid marked as hazardous?

Although relatively dilute, phosphoric acid is still corrosive and can pose risks to skin, eyes, and materials. It is classified as hazardous to ensure proper labeling, handling, transport, and storage in compliance with safety and Dangerous Goods regulations.

How is this product packaged and handled?

The solution is supplied in a sealed 55-gallon drum with induction seals to prevent leaks during transport. Packaging and shipment are handled by certified professionals. Users should follow the Safety Data Sheet and applicable safety procedures for bulk storage, handling, and disposal.
