Naxcat® MOD ACID

1 of 12 products in this brand
Naxcat® MOD ACID is a blend of TSA (toluenesulfonic acid) and XSA (xylene sulfonic acid) acids that promote low freezing temperatures for ease of handling, while maintaining a high degree of acidity. Aromatic sulfonic acids are produced by sulfonating aromatic compounds with sulfuric acid, SO3, or oleum. They are comparable in strength to mineral acids, such as sulfuric acid, but are particularly suitable for organic reactions where an inorganic, mineral acid may cause charring, oxidation, or an unwanted chemical reaction.

Storage & Handling

Storage Information

Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Store in cool, well ventilated area. Steel is corroded by sulfonic acids and is not recommended for prolonged storage at elevated temperatures since iron and color contamination could result. Dilution with water may increase corrosivity of the acid. Material will absorb moisture.
