On the method of dilution of fruit acid
Fruit acid is one of the types of chemical preparations. Among them, glycolic acid is active in nature and has its use in many fields. The world often suspects that glycolic acid can be mixed with water and diluted?
Glycolic acid is acidic and strong in nature. If it is used without treatment, it may harm objects and people. Water is the source of all things, and its nature is peaceful. Diluting glycolic acid with water makes sense.
The method of dilution should not be careless. First, you should know the concentration of glycolic acid. If the concentration is too high, add water rashly, or have a violent reaction, causing the liquid to splash out and hurt the body. Therefore, first measure its concentration, and determine the ratio of water to glycolic acid according to the required degree.
Secondly, when operating, it should be slow. Pour glycolic acid slowly into the water and keep stirring. If it is the other way around, pour water into glycolic acid, because the density of glycolic acid is greater than that of water, the water floats on it, and the reaction heat accumulates, which is easy to cause danger. The purpose of stirring is to mix the two evenly to achieve the effect of dilution.
Furthermore, after dilution, it needs to be properly stored. Choose a sealed device and put it in a cool place away from light to prevent it from reacting with foreign objects and causing changes in properties.
In short, glycolic acid can be diluted with water, but those who do it must be careful and follow the rules to obtain a safe and suitable dilution solution for various purposes without worry.
