Monohydrate citric acid (CAS No. 5949-29-1) is a cost-effective, versatile variant that balances performance and affordability-and our product is tailored to meet the needs of industries ranging from daily chemicals to animal feed. With a water content of 8.5-10.5% (in the form of water of crystallization), it offers the same chelating, acidifying, and preservative properties as anhydrous citric acid but at a lower production cost, making it an ideal choice for high-volume, cost-sensitive applications.
In the daily chemical industry, our monohydrate citric acid is a key ingredient in liquid and gel formulations, such as dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents, and all-purpose cleaners. Its high solubility (147g/100mL at 20°C) ensures it mixes evenly with surfactants, fragrances, and other additives, creating products that are both effective and gentle. As a degreaser, it breaks down tough grease and food stains on dishes and kitchen surfaces without leaving streaks. As a descaling agent, it removes limescale from bathroom fixtures, coffee makers, and washing machines-extending their lifespan and improving performance. We've worked with leading household cleaning brands to develop formulations that meet eco-label standards (such as EU Ecolabel and US Green Seal), ensuring our monohydrate citric acid is biodegradable and safe for use around children and pets.
In animal feed, our monohydrate citric acid acts as an acidifier, improving digestion and nutrient absorption in livestock (poultry, pigs, cattle) and aquaculture (fish, shrimp). By lowering the pH of the animal's gut, it inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria (such as E. coli and Salmonella) while promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria (like Lactobacillus). This leads to better gut health, reduced mortality rates, and improved feed conversion ratios-helping farmers increase productivity and reduce costs. For example, in poultry feed, adding 0.5-1% of our monohydrate citric acid can increase weight gain by 5-10% and reduce feed costs by 3-5%. Our product is also compatible with other feed additives, such as vitamins, minerals, and probiotics, making it easy to integrate into existing formulations.
We've optimized our production process to minimize costs without compromising quality. Using energy-efficient fermentation technology and local sourcing of corn starch, we're able to offer our monohydrate citric acid at a competitive price point while maintaining a purity of 99.0%+ and low impurity levels (heavy metals ≤0.1 ppm). Packaging options are designed for convenience and cost-effectiveness: 25kg kraft paper bags (with inner polyethylene liners) for small orders and 1000kg bulk bags (for large-scale feed or chemical manufacturers). We also offer flexible payment terms and volume discounts-orders of 50 tons or more qualify for a 5% discount, and long-term contracts (6+ months) include guaranteed pricing and priority delivery. Whether you're a cleaning product manufacturer looking to reduce costs or a farmer seeking to improve livestock health, our monohydrate citric acid is a reliable, affordable solution.
