Phosphoric Acid, also known as orthophosphoric acid, is a mineral (inorganic) acid.  It is highly soluble in water and has a wide range of industrial uses, is a key component of liquid fertilisers, and is used extensively in the food industry, particularly in the manufacture of cola drinks.  Dilute phosphoric acid, in general, is non-toxic; it is often used in buffering agents or to make buffer solutions, where the desired pH depends on the proportions of the phosphates in the mixture.  It is also used for treating rust by direct application to rusted iron, steel tools, or surfaces to convert iron oxide to a water soluble phosphate compound and to provide further corrosion resistance.

 

The majority of Phosphate acid imported into Australia in IBCs is the 85% Food Grade product.  The high concentration ensures a competitive freight rate rate per kg of phosphorus.

 

Wengfu manufactures various grades of phosphoric acid at Machangping in Guizhou Province.  Wengfu Australia supplies 85% phosphoric acid in IBCs to the Australian market and can supply other grades if required.
