Product Grades
Industrial Grade
The purity typically ranges around 98%. It is primarily employed in metal surface derusting, marble polishing, automotive radiator cleaning, textile printing and dyeing, as well as bleaching applications.
Reagent Grade
Purity generally ranges from 99.0% to over 99.5%. It meets ACS or ISO specifications and is employed in laboratory chemical analysis, as a titrant standard solution, and in precision chemical synthesis.
Electronic Grade
It has an extremely low content of metallic impurity ions. It is specifically used for cleaning and etching processes in the semiconductor and microelectronics industries.
Standard stock items are of industrial grade. For special grade orders, please contact us for complete documentation.

Industries
Oxalic Acid Used in the Pharmaceutical Industry
Oxalic acid is used as a raw material in the synthesis of antibiotics (terramycin, aureomycin), vitamin B12, borneol, and oxalate ester intermediates.
Oxalic Acid Used in the Resin Industry
Oxalic acid is used as an acidity regulator in resin production.
Oxalic Acid Used in the Metallurgical Industry
Oxalic acid serves as a precipitant for the separation and purification of rare earth elements (by forming rare earth oxalate precipitates). It is also used in the production of high-purity metals (such as nickel and cobalt) and in catalyst preparation.
Oxalic Acid Used in the Textile Industry
Oxalic acid acts as a reducing bleaching agent for cotton and linen fabrics to remove yellowing and mildew stains, causing relatively little damage to fibers. It is often used in combination with hydrogen peroxide.
Oxalic Acid Used in the Paper Industry
Oxalic acid is used as a reducing bleaching agent for pulp bleaching.
Oxalic Acid Used in the Laboratory
In chemical analysis, oxalic acid is commonly used as a reducing agent and complexing agent-for example, in titrating potassium permanganate solutions to determine their concentration. It is also used to precipitate rare earth elements for separation and purification.
Oxalic Acid Used in the Household Use
Oxalic acid is a powerful rust remover and scale cleaner. It reacts with metal oxides to remove rust and is commonly used for cleaning marble, metal surfaces, and removing limescale-for example, on stainless steel, marble, and ceramic tiles.
Oxalic Acid Used in the Water Treatment Industry
Oxalic acid is used to treat heavy metal contamination and to remove pollutants from wastewater and exhaust gases.
