5-SULPHOSALICYLIC ACID DIHYDRATE, EXTRA PURE

5- Sulphosalicylic Acid Dihydrate, Extra Pure is a sulfonated derivative of salicylic acid, and a white to off-white moist powder. Its high acidic nature enables it to react with a variety of substances under suitable conditions. The protonation of water is a consequence of the high acidity of this compound. It is also strongly associated with a range of metal ions, and this property finds application in the binding or removal of metals in certain procedures. This property provides a unique functional advantage in controlled chemical interactions. It is available in a variety of hydrated forms, such as dihydrate, trihydrate and pentahydrate, all having similar chemical behavior even if the amount of water differs. The dihydrate form provides a well-balanced mix of stability with ease of handling. Its moist powder form enables easy measuring and preparation, and its well characterized chemistry allows for predictable behavior in different applications.

A white to off-white moist powder with strong acidic properties and metal-binding capability.
