Food & Beverage

Industrial & Household Cleaning

Construction Industry Retarder

Citric acid is a vital ingredient in food and beverages, serving as an acidulant, preservative, and flavor enhancer. It adds tartness to drinks and sweets, extends shelf life by preventing spoilage, and balances acidity in sauces and marinades for consistent taste.

As a powerful chelating agent, citric acid effectively removes limescale, rust, and mineral deposits in cleaning products. It softens water in detergents and serves as an eco-friendly alternative in sustainable cleaning formulations for industrial and home use.

Citric acid serves as an economical retarder in cement-based materials (concrete, grouts) and gypsum-based products (plasters, joint compounds). By delaying hydration in cement or crystal growth in gypsum, it extends workability for smooth application while preventing premature hardening in mortars, renders, and finishing compounds.
