The liquid form is the preferred choice for high-throughput facilities where automated dosing, reduced handling, and instant reactivity are priorities.
Feeds directly into metering pumps and dosing lines at large-scale water treatment facilities. Provides rapid floc formation for turbidity removal, colour reduction, and heavy metal precipitation across varying raw water conditions.
Tackles complex industrial wastewater containing oils, dyes, suspended solids, and dissolved metals. The liquid form enables precise proportional dosing that adapts to fluctuating effluent composition in real time.
Used in pickling and surface preparation of steel and aluminium components. The controlled acid content removes oxide layers and prepares metal surfaces for subsequent coating or galvanising processes.
Delivers consistent copper and stainless steel etching performance for PCB manufacturers and decorative metal fabricators. The liquid form allows continuous spray etching with uniform material removal rates.
