It has a strong, pungent vinegar odor and is completely soluble in water and alcohol. Excellent as an acidulant and preservative in food products. Highly soluble in water and alcohol, easily incorporated into food and technical formulations. Applications: preservation of meats, olives, and vegetables, baking, sauce production, and as an acidifier in various food formulations. Also known as vinegar, ethanoic acid, methylcarboxylic acid, E260. Properties: pH (1% sol.) 2.0–3.0, max. 0.15% moisture, max. 0.5 ppm heavy metals (Pb), appearance free of suspended particles. Kosher certified. Available in 20, 25, and 50 kg presentations. Shelf life: 12 months. Available in Monterrey, with shipping throughout Mexico.

Ditanium, self-dispersing titanium dioxide. Fine homogeneous white powder, 87.5–90.0% active content. Its innovative formulation with organic dispersants ensures optimal pigment distribution, providing excellent whiteness, opacity, and color uniformity. High thermal resistance and excellent blending behavior, contributing cohesion, texture, and stability. Properties: pH (3% solution) 8.5–9.5, density 0.81–1.10 g/cm³, high dispersibility without the need for pretreatment. Applications: ideal for coating systems, paints, plastics, cosmetics, inks, specialty papers, and other formulations requiring white pigmentation with high optical efficiency. Kosher certified. Presentation and storage: 50 kg box, minimum shelf life of 12 months. Store at temperatures above 5 °C in a dry place without stacking. Available in Monterrey, with shipping throughout Mexico.

Titanium Dioxide R-900 food grade. Fine, homogeneous white powder with a minimum active content of 94.2%. Offers excellent covering power, brightness, opacity, and dispersion, delivering high performance in coatings, corrosion resistance, high resistivity, and low soluble ion content. Soluble with a pH between 6.5 and 8.5. Applications: coloring agent for sugar-based products such as candies and chewing gum, interior industrial coatings, glossy or semi-gloss architectural coatings, metal furniture, plastics, white or light-toned blends for construction, waterproof sealants and coatings, as well as primer for surfaces and exterior applications with medium chalk resistance. Also known as E171.
