description Product Description
Used in livestock feed preservation due to its antimicrobial properties, effectively inhibiting the growth of bacteria, molds, and fungi in silage and animal feed. Commonly applied in agriculture as a fumigant and disinfectant, especially in beekeeping to control parasitic mites like Varroa destructor. Employed in leather tanning processes to lower pH and assist in the penetration of tanning agents. Utilized in textile dyeing and finishing as a reducing agent and pH regulator. Also serves in cleaning products for descaling and removing rust due to its moderate acidity. Increasingly used in fuel cells as a hydrogen carrier, where it decomposes to produce hydrogen gas for energy applications.
