Oxalic acid is a powerful organic acid widely used in industrial manufacturing, cleaning, and specialty applications. Known for its strong reducing and chelating properties, it is highly effective in metal treatment, rust removal, wood bleaching, and textile processing, where it dissolves stains, scale, and mineral deposits with precision. Its crystalline structure and high solubility allow easy integration into both large-scale operations and specialty formulations.

In addition to cleaning and surface treatment, oxalic acid serves as a reagent, pH adjuster, and intermediate in diverse chemical pathways. It plays a critical role in polymer synthesis, rare earth element processing, leather tanning, and pharmaceutical production, while also being used in dyes, inks, and water treatment. With its versatility, efficiency, and proven performance, oxalic acid remains a vital raw material across industries seeking consistent results and high-performance solutions.
