Edition Date :
June 05, 2026
Hordaphos CC MN is a phosphate ester used as a component for high performance acid cleaning agents. It is suitable for use in the food processing industry, sanitary sector and for railway rolling stock. It is also used in surface technology applications, for example in formulations for rust removers. It provides higher solubility for various salts and oxides than phosphoric acid, helping prevent precipitates. Hordaphos CC MN is effective even in hard water and has low corrosion rates on metallic and non-metallic materials.
