Deionized Water, and sourcing a quality product

 Deionized Water

Deionized Water Uses and sourcing

Deionized  water, also referred to as "DI water"  is water that has been processed using a certain method,  through filtering in carbon and a specific resin to remove ions, and the dissolved mineral salts. During this process, water passes through two types of ion-exchange resin, which swap out positively and negatively charged particles for hydrogen (H+) and hydroxyl (OH-) ions. Next the water is typically filtered through carbon. 

Uses for Deionized water

DI water is in more places than you might think. It is  found in so many common, as well as unusal places, in an array of different applications, from commerical and industrial uses, to even home uses. 

DI water is found in most auto and industrial and commercial batteries. If your batter is weak you might want to  "top off " lead-acid car and truck and industrial and commetcial batteries. Using deionized water rather than tap water prevents impurities within the tap water from reducing the  lifespan of expensive batteries.  It is also used in all kinds of coolants for motors and engines, from automotive to commercial engines used in generators and heavy machinery, and coolant systems and for diluting concentrated antifreeze. Since the presence of salts can be highly corrosive to a car engine, it is important to use deionized water rather than tap water. Deionized water has also been found to work great for washing vehicles  since it minimizes water spot residue that often appear after the water dries. 

DI Water is also used in many other commercial applications. Fire extinguishers typically are charged with DI water, and  particularly those used where an electrical fire may develop. Deionized water has a lower electrical conductivity and is therefore much less likely to cause severe damage to electrical equipment. 

In the home, you might find DI water in nasal washes or netty pots. Fish lovers that have aquarium also prefer to use deionized water to greatly reduce impurities that might harm and lessen the life of aquatic fish and plants.


DI water also helps prevent the development of undesired algae since it lacks silicate and phosphate which are essential nutrients needed by these plants.

Because it has less impurities, and rinses better, deionized water is also often used in chemistry and science laboratories. It is often used  in experiments and also  does an excellent job washing scientific equipment like glassware and tools in the lab.

N-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP) uses, applicaitons, and sourcing

N-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP) N-Methylpyrrolidone is a colorless to slightly yellow liquid with a mild amine odor. It is very versatile since is it miscible with water and various solvents. N-Methylpyrrolidone, also known by the synonym NMP, is a  versatile, effective solvent that in many applications replaces dangerous solvents and solvents that are or were ozone depleting. It  used in numerous commercial/industrial applications as a co-solvent with water, alcohols and other organic substances.  used as a cleaner and degreaser and in many other applications. It is often used in specialty resins, stripping epoxy, as a pigment dispersant, plastics, textiles,  agrochemicals. In the electronics/ microelectronics industry specifically it is often used as a process solvent for  cleaning silicon wafers, removing marker dyes and soldering flux residues from circuit boards. One advantage of NMP   is that it is not on the Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) list of the...

Citric Acid Fine Granular USP Food Grade

 CITRIC ACID FINE GRANULAR USP FOOD GRADE Citric Acid fine granular, is a  widely used weak organic acid. It is  found in  many foods nad beverages and in many commercial and industrial processes and technical applications. In food, it is popular since it adds a 'sour' taste or "ZING"  to products, especially candies and confectionaries.  In  chemical processes it is used as a weak acid, and to lower pH.  Around the home citric acid is used in cleaners as a weak chelate or to reduce the pH in cleaners where acidity adds the ability to help eliminate surface grime and  mineral deposits for example.  Typical Uses  of citric acid, both granular and in solution are: Food, Candy, Confectionary Beverages (pH) Water and wastewater pH adjustments Water conditioning Pet/Animal Feed Oil Well Cementing pH Control Chelate The CAS number is  77-92-9 Synonyms: of citric acid are , sour salt, and just "c itric" Appearance: White Crystall...
