Atom8 pH Adjuster is a component of fertilizers (80% of total use), detergents, and many household cleaning products. Dilute solutions have a pleasing acid taste; thus, it’s also used as a food additive, lending acidic properties to soft drinks and other prepared foods, and in water treatment products making it an ideal acid to use in the pH adjustment of water.

The Atom8 pH Adjuster will be primary used to control the water pH for use in pack houses, the reason to have a pH between 5,5 and 6,5 is that most chemicals also WAC10 can only activate if water pH is below 7, that is the main reason why pack houses currently us hydrochloric acid. If you consider the difference Atom8 pH Adjuster can bring to the degreening process it is most certainly the better option. Atom8 pH Adjuster is also much less corrosive towards machinery and there parts.

Atom8 pH Adjuster (2-chloroethyl phosphoric acid) can be used as an ingredient that substitutes ethylene in degreening and has been widely used by fresh orange fruit producers in several countries. PH adjuster is very easy to use; oranges are only dipped in Atom8 pH Adjuster solution with a specific concentration and duration pH 5.5 – 6.5. Atom8 pH Shift is the fruit tissue that will be hydrolysed to produce ethylene, chlorine ions, and phosphate. Atom8 pH Shift is a compound that spontaneously releases ethylene upon contact with water. By using Atom8 pH Adjuster we try to speed-up the degreening of citrus saving time and money in the degreening rooms.

Administration

NanFa an approved distributor of Dry Tech Aerogel product Atom8 pH Adjuster can install an acid processor to control the pH level of Pack House wash water systems and the product will at the same time start the process of ethylene production in the peel and can therefore assist in the de-greening process of fruits.
