What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

TARTARIC ACID BP/USP/EP

TARTARIC ACID (CAS 87-69-4) – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Tartaric Acid (CAS 87-69-4) is a naturally occurring organic acid that is commonly found in grapes and is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical industries. It has a strong acidic taste and is used as an acidulant, preservative, and stabilizer in food products, particularly in wine production, where it plays a role in acid balance and flavor enhancement. In the pharmaceutical industry, Tartaric Acid is used as an excipients, buffering agent, and pH regulator in the formulation of oral medications, tablets, and capsules. It also serves as an intermediate in the production of other organic acids and esters in chemical manufacturing. In cosmetics, Tartaric Acid is used for its exfoliating properties and is incorporated into skin care formulations to improve skin texture and promote cell regeneration. This white crystalline powder is available in pharmaceutical grades (BP/USP/EP), ensuring high purity for use in oral formulations, topical applications, and industrial processes. We supply Tartaric Acid to pharmaceutical manufacturers, food producers, cosmetic manufacturers, and chemical manufacturers globally, ensuring reliable and high-quality supply to USA, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Chile.
