CAS: 10043-35-3
Boric Acid Tech Powder is the most fundamental chemical in the Home, Industrial & Institutional Cleaning (HI&I) market due to its multifunctional cleaning and disinfecting properties. Apart from this primary usage, this fine powder is efficient in controlling microbial growth and thus is a highly versatile cleaning formulation that is capable of being used in the peculiar case of high hygiene. As a powder, it allows for precise dosing and is easier to incorporate into different sorts of cleaning systems.
Boric Acid Tech Powder is well-known by the HI&I industry as the veritable antimicrobial agent for actively combating bacteria, fungi, and other harmful organisms and pathogens. Furthermore, the degree of non-corrosiveness, along with the effective performance, enables it to be safely applied on sensitive surfaces and equipment. Such a combination of potency and safety makes it an ideal choice in cleaning along with huge applications in healthcare, food processing, and institutional cleaning.
