A strong organic dicarboxylic acid used for aggressive removal of iron oxides, rust, mineral scale, and selected metal complexes in boilers, cooling circuits, heat exchangers, and industrial cleaning systems.
Oxalic Acid is a strong organic dicarboxylic acid recognized for its superior ability to dissolve iron oxides, rust, and complex mineral deposits that are resistant to other cleaning agents. We offer high-purity Oxalic Acid in anhydrous and dihydrate forms, selected and tested specifically for water treatment and industrial cleaning applications.
It serves as a targeted descaling and metal removal solution in boilers, cooling systems, pipelines, heat exchangers, and specialized wastewater streams. While milder organic acids such as citric acid are preferred for general use, Oxalic Acid excels where aggressive removal of stubborn iron-based scales and certain heavy metal complexes is required. Our product is manufactured to high purity standards, ensuring minimal impurities and consistent performance.
Oxalic Acid is the preferred solution when iron oxide scale, metal deposits, and stubborn fouling require strong, targeted dissolution.
Dissolves magnetite, hematite, and other iron-rich deposits that resist standard cleaners.
Targets scale in evaporators, condensers, process lines, and heat transfer equipment with difficult fouling patterns.
Forms stable soluble complexes with iron, calcium, and other metals to assist in cleaning and wastewater treatment.
Oxalic Acid is a high-purity organic acid valued for its specific chemistry, strong dissolving capability, and reliable performance in specialized cleaning and treatment systems.
Oxalic Acid is used where mineral scale and metal deposits are tightly bound to process equipment and cannot be effectively removed with milder, routine cleaning chemistries.
Dissolves magnetite, hematite, and other iron-based deposits in boilers, pipelines, and heat transfer equipment.
Forms stable soluble complexes with iron, calcium, and other metals to aid in wastewater or cleaning operations.
Targets stubborn scales in evaporators, condensers, and process equipment used in chemical, power, and manufacturing industries.
Removes metal stains and deposit residues from stainless steel, ceramics, and filtration media.
Oxalic Acid is also used in selective precipitation or reduction processes for certain heavy metals and in controlled cleaning programs where conventional acids do not deliver sufficient performance.
Oxalic Acid is valued where efficiency, targeted action, and removal of difficult fouling are essential to maintaining process reliability.
Exceptional performance against iron-based scales and rust where citric or hydrochloric acids are less effective.
Allows precise cleaning without excessive attack on base metals when used correctly.
Converts insoluble deposits into soluble forms for easier rinsing and disposal.
Reduces cleaning time and frequency for severely fouled systems and supports lower downtime.
Oxalic Acid is a powerful cleaning and chelating agent. It must be handled with the correct controls and stored safely to minimize health and process risk.
Use full personal protective equipment, including gloves, goggles, and protective clothing.
Oxalic Acid is toxic if swallowed and can cause severe irritation. Chronic exposure may harm the kidneys.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area and keep tightly sealed away from direct heat and incompatible chemicals.
Store separately from strong oxidizers and bases, and follow strict handling and spill control procedures.
Our technical team can recommend the correct feed rate, cleaning sequence, and handling approach for your equipment and water treatment process.
