Industrial Oxalic Acid | Powerful Wood Bleach & Metal Cleaning Agent
Oxalic acid is an industry-standard for efficient and effective metal treatment. Its powerful chelating properties make it ideal for descaling, cleaning, and phosphating metal surfaces. It is exceptionally effective at removing rust (iron oxide) from steel, iron, and other alloys without causing significant base metal corrosion. Industries rely on oxalic acid for applications such as cleaning boilers, heat exchangers, and automotive parts. It also serves as a key ingredient in aluminum anodizing processes, providing a clean, polished finish. We supply technical-grade oxalic acid in bulk quantities, ensuring you have a reliable and consistent stream of this critical chemical for your production line.

Key Applications
- Metal Cleaning & Polishing - Effectively removes rust and oxides from metal surfaces, especially stainless steel, copper, and aluminum. Used in electroplating as a polishing agent to enhance metal brightness.
- Household Cleaning - Diluted solutions clean tile, toilet, and bathroom scale/soap scum. Highly effective against stubborn stains (ink, paint, etc.).
- Textile & Wood Treatment - Acts as a bleaching agent for fabric pre-treatment or wood whitening. Removes iron stains from textiles.
- Chemical & Laboratory Use - Used as a pharmaceutical intermediate or lab reagent (e.g., calcium chelator). Key raw material for producing oxalates, dyes, and other chemicals.
- Other Uses - Beekeeping: Cleans beehives. Stone Care: Diluted solutions treat marble/stone stains (use with caution).
Safety Warning
Oxalic acid is corrosive! Handle with care:
- Wear gloves & goggles; avoid skin/eye contact.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from children & flammables.
- Do NOT mix with bleach (may release toxic gas).
