Application

Gluconic acid, a non-toxic, biodegradable organic compound, is widely used in industrial settings. Key applications include:

1. Chelating Agent: Exceptional in alkaline solutions, it outperforms other chelating agents, effectively neutralizing heavy metals like calcium, iron, and copper.

2. Industrial Cleaning: Utilized in cleaning-in-place (CIP) formulations for equipment in industrial plants, it prevents scale deposits and corrosion, and is suitable for cleaning sensitive surfaces.

3. Metal Surface Treatment: It's essential in pre-treating aluminum surfaces, removing rust, grease, and paint from metals, and stripping paints and coatings.
