In your R&D work...
Try a dry acid that's stable, strong, water-soluble· Try Du Pont Sulfamic Acid. 0 H-0-$-NHz II
0 An unusual, versatile, dry acid...easily handled as non-volatile, nonhygroscopic granules or high-purity crystals; forms nearly odorless aqueous solutions; reacts with organics and inorganics... good reasons to consider Du Pont sulfamic acid for your products or processes. Sulfamic compares with sulfuric and nitric in acid strength...yet it's also a mild, specific sulfating, sulfamating, and sulfonating agent. Keeps its low pH even in weak aqueous solutions; solutions emit no corrosive fumes. Forms highly soluble salts; in normal usage it remains stable both dry and in aqueous solutions.
Little wonder sulfamic acid is so widely used for metal cleaning, hard-water scale removal, paper pulp bleaching, pH control, and electroplating. Wonder what it might do for you?
Use your imagination· Here are some ideastarters when considering Du Pont sulfamic acid: • stabilizes chlorine in water by forming N-chlorosulfamic acid; • behaves as dibasic acid when dissolved in liquid ammonia; • reacts quantitatively with nitrous acid and nitrites; • forms soluble metal salts and corrodes less than most acids; • condenses methylol sulfamates with melamine or urea. See some intriguing possibilities? Try them out with Du Pont sulfamic acid in your own lab.
