Citric Acid Monohydrate

Nexol Chemicals Pvt Ltd is a premier supplier and bulk distributor of high-purity Citric Acid Monohydrate. Sourced and processed under strict global regulatory matrices, our premium food, pharmaceutical, and technical-grade Citric Acid Monohydrate features a brilliant white crystalline structure, excellent free-flowing properties, and a sharp, clean tart acidity profile. It serves as a foundational organic acidulation compound widely utilized as a flavor enhancer and pH regulator in the food and beverage industry, a critical preservative builder in cosmetics and personal care items, a stabilizing chelating agent in chemical processing, and an active buffer matrix in pharmaceutical synthesis layers.

Because Citric Acid Monohydrate contains one water molecule of crystallization per molecule of acid, we enforce rigid climate-controlled storage safeguards to fully isolate the compound from ambient humidity fluctuations, eliminate product caking, and preserve perfect reaction consistency for our enterprise B2B partners.
