Sulphamic Acid – Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania & Ethiopia

Product Description

Sulphamic Acid is an inorganic chemical widely applied in industrial cleaning, descaling, metal treatment, and selected manufacturing processes. It is also known as amidosulfonic acid, and its chemical formula is H₃NSO₃. This white crystalline solid dissolves in water and helps remove mineral deposits, scale, and certain residues from compatible surfaces and equipment.

In industrial cleaning, this chemical helps remove limescale and mineral buildup from equipment, heat exchangers, boilers, and other systems where scale affects performance. It can also support cleaning operations in manufacturing facilities, provided the equipment materials are compatible with the cleaning solution. The correct concentration, contact time, and cleaning procedure depend on the type of deposit and the surface being treated.

Sulphamic Acid also serves in selected metal-treatment, chemical-processing, and manufacturing applications. Some cleaning-product manufacturers include it in formulations that require descaling or acid-based cleaning performance. Before use, businesses should check the product grade, the manufacturer’s technical specifications, and the requirements of the intended process.

System Star Industrial supplies industrial chemicals and raw materials to businesses across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Ethiopia. We support manufacturers, cleaning-product producers, maintenance teams, and other commercial customers looking for chemical supplies in suitable quantities. Availability, packaging, and grade specifications depend on current stock and order requirements.

As an acidic chemical, Sulphamic Acid requires careful handling. It can irritate or damage the eyes and may irritate the skin. Always use suitable protective equipment, avoid contact with incompatible materials, and follow the supplier’s safety data sheet. Test material compatibility before applying it to metal surfaces, equipment, or finished products.

Applications of Sulphamic Acid

Industrial descaling: Helps remove mineral scale and deposits from compatible equipment and surfaces during controlled cleaning operations.

Boiler and heat exchanger cleaning: Supports selected descaling procedures where the equipment manufacturer approves the chemical and cleaning method.

Cleaning-product manufacturing: Serves as an ingredient in certain acid-based cleaners and descaling formulations.

Metal treatment: Supports selected metal-cleaning processes, subject to the metal type, concentration, and operating conditions.

Industrial maintenance: Helps maintenance teams address mineral deposits that may reduce equipment efficiency.

Manufacturing processes: Serves as a chemical raw material in selected industrial and chemical-processing applications.

Sanitary and surface cleaning: May be applied in compatible cleaning formulations for removing mineral deposits. The product grade and formulation must suit the intended surface and use.
