Phytic acid: WHAT IT IS . . . WHAT IT DOES
Phytic Arid, the hexaphosphoric add ester of inositol, is a relatively strong acid composed of twelve acidic hydrogen groups. Its proposed structural formula, shown above, indicates a wide range of applications in a number of different fields.
Available for the first time in commercial quantities, Phytic Acid's indicated applications are: e Chelating or sequestering heavy metals, e Facilitating plating, improving adhesion
properties of metal for application of protective coatings.
• Inhibits rusting, improves appearance of metal closures on glass-packed foods.
• As an excellent starting material for certain pharmaceutical derivatives.
e It may be useful in detergent applications.
• In photographic emulsions, for low fogging qualities, yet increased sensitivity.
• As an additive to various types of paints and coatings to inhibit corrosion, improve color, promote better adhesion to metal surfaces.
Perhaps Phytic Add will fit in with your current research plans. For free sample and farther information, including technical data sheets and an 80-page BIBLIOGRAPHY on PHYTIN and INOSITOL, write to:
