Corrosion Inhibitors & Coatings for Metalworking

Technical Grade Sodium Nitrite Description: High-Purity Free Flowing Corrosion Inhibitor At Quimiconsult we offer BASF® technical grade Free Flowing Sodium Nitrite, a yellowish-white crystalline solid powder with a minimum purity of 99.0 g NaNO₂ per 100 g. It is a hygroscopic compound that is very soluble in water, used mainly as a corrosion inhibitor; it also shows antimicrobial properties and helps reduce odors in treatment systems and disinfection solutions. Its distinguishing feature is its Free Flowing condition: the powder does not cake or stick together, which makes it easier to handle, weigh, dose and dissolve in industrial processes. This is a real practical advantage in a hygroscopic product, whose conventional versions tend to cake in storage and must be broken up before use. As a corrosion inhibitor, sodium nitrite acts as an anodic passivator: in contact with steel and iron surfaces in aqueous media it promotes the formation of a stable, protective oxide film that slows c…

Lactic Acid 88%: High-Purity Natural Preservative At Quimiconsult we offer food grade Lactic Acid 88%, manufactured by Henan Jindan, one of the most recognized lactic acid producers worldwide. It is a colorless to light yellowish translucent liquid, produced through the controlled fermentation of natural carbohydrates, which gives it a bio-based profile, high biodegradability and compatibility with modern formulations that demand cleaner, more natural ingredients. With a guaranteed purity between 87.5% and 88.5% (w/w), this organic acid acts as a pH regulator, antimicrobial preservative, flavor enhancer and texture control agent in a wide variety of food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical matrices. Its hygroscopic nature, odorless character and complete solubility in water and alcohol make it versatile and easy to incorporate into continuous industrial processes. Unlike synthetic preservatives, lactic acid is a compound that the human body naturally produces and metabolizes, making it a pre…

Propionic Acid USP Description: Short-Chain Antimicrobial Preservative At Quimiconsult we offer USP grade Propionic Acid, a clear, colorless liquid with a minimum purity of 99.5%, produced under the strict standards of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). It is a short-chain organic fatty acid with powerful antimicrobial properties, widely used as a preservative, acidulant and antifungal agent in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and animal feed industries. Its mechanism of action is based on the ability of the molecule, in its undissociated form, to penetrate the cell membrane of fungi, molds and certain bacteria, interfering with their metabolism and stopping their proliferation. This action is especially effective in products with a pH between 4.0 and 6.0, the typical range of breads, cheeses, cured meats and processed foods. Unlike other synthetic preservatives, propionic acid is a compound that occurs naturally in certain fermented foods, which positions it favorably in formula…

PBTC — Industrial Grade Corrosion and Scale Inhibitor   At Quimiconsult we supply PBTC (2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid, CAS 37971-36-1), an industrial grade corrosion and scale inhibitor supplied as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with an active content of about 50%. Its molecular structure combines one phosphonic group with three carboxylic groups, giving it an exceptional ability to adsorb onto metal surfaces and onto suspended inorganic particles, so it acts simultaneously as a corrosion inhibitor, a scale inhibitor (antiscalant) and a dispersant in industrial water systems.   What sets PBTC apart from other phosphonic inhibitors is its high stability against chlorine and bleach, which makes it compatible with water treatment systems that use hypochlorite or chlorine dioxide as biocides. This property is critical in cooling towers and process water systems, where disinfection and scale control must run in parallel without chemical interference between the actives. PB…

Product description – technical grade sodium gluconate At Quimiconsult we offer industrial grade sodium gluconate in Mexico, a high-purity (≥ 98 %) white crystalline powder with excellent water solubility, designed for processes that require an efficient chelating agent, formulation stabilizer and set retarder in cementitious systems. Its non-corrosive, non-toxic and biodegradable nature makes it a functional alternative to other metal sequestrants used in industrial applications. Thanks to its ability to form stable complexes with metal ions such as calcium, iron and aluminum, sodium gluconate improves the chemical stability of alkaline solutions, prevents scaling, optimizes concrete workability and allows homogeneous dispersion of components in liquid and solid formulations. This positions it as a multifunctional additive in the construction, industrial cleaning, water treatment, electroplating and chemical formulation industries. Industrial grade sodium gluconate is available in Mo…

USP grade potassium iodide description At Quimiconsult we offer USP potassium iodide, a pharmaceutical-grade inorganic compound supplied as a high-purity white powder with a KI assay of 99.0 to 99.9%. With the chemical formula KI and CAS number 7681-11-0, this product is one of the most widely used sources of iodine in industrial, pharmaceutical and food applications thanks to its high water solubility, its chemical stability and a purity profile that meets the standards set by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). Potassium iodide acts as a direct source of iodine, an essential trace element for proper thyroid gland function in humans and animals. Its USP grade guarantees that the product has been manufactured, tested and documented under quality standards that make it suitable for applications where purity is a critical requirement, such as the formulation of medicines, nutritional supplements, food additives and laboratory reagents. This classification sets it apart from technical …

TEA 85% Triethanolamine — Industrial-Grade Neutralizer and Emulsifier in Mexico   At Quimiconsult we distribute TEA 85% Triethanolamine, also known as Triethanolamine 85%, industrial-grade TEA or 2,2′,2″-nitrilotriethanol (CAS 102-71-6), an industrial organic amine that works as a neutralizer and emulsifier in the formulation of household and industrial cleaners and other chemical products. Its main application is the neutralization of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DDBSA, also called sulfonic acid or LABSA), at a typical dosage of 0.4 to 0.5 kg of TEA 85% per kg of DDBSA, turning the acid into a water-soluble surfactant salt. Triethanolamine 85% also forms emulsifying soaps with fatty acids and is used to adjust the pH of formulations.   TEA 85% is a clear, viscous liquid, colorless to slightly yellowish, with a slight ammoniacal odor. It is produced from ammonia and ethylene oxide, is soluble in water and has a density of 1.12 to 1.13 g/mL at 20 °C. Its total triethanolamine content i…
