Citric acid monohydrate is a weak organic acid used across many industries to adjust pH and to bind metal ions. Corofy is a citric acid monohydrate supplier in UAE, serving agrochemical formulators and oil and gas service companies from its Dubai base.
Corofy supplies citric acid monohydrate from JAFZA to the agrochemical formulation industry and to oil and gas operations in the UAE, the GCC and export markets in Africa and Asia.
Citric Acid Monohydrate Overview
Citric acid is a tricarboxylic acid found naturally in citrus fruit and produced industrially by fermentation. The monohydrate form contains one molecule of water of crystallisation and is supplied as a white crystalline solid that dissolves readily in water. Its three carboxylic acid groups allow it to lower pH and to form soluble complexes with metal ions such as iron and calcium.
These two properties drive its industrial uses. In agrochemicals it is used to buffer or acidify formulations and spray water, and as a chelating agent in micronutrient products. In oil and gas, citric acid is used as an iron control agent in acidising treatments, where it helps keep dissolved iron in solution.
