| General description: | Anhydrous phosphoric acid is a white solid which melts at 42.35oC to form a viscous liquid. In aqueous solution phosphoric acid behaves as a triprotic acid, having three ionizable hydrogen atoms. |
| General description: | We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which belong to one of the four categories of greener alternatives. Phosphoric acid-doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes offer a cleaner path to energy by enabling high-temperature fuel cells that efficiently convert hydrogen into electricity with low emissions. Their durability and proton conductivity make them ideal for sustainable power systems. Click here ![]() |
