Food Grade vs. Industrial Grade Comparison

Why is 85% the Highest Food Grade Concentration?

• At >85%, viscosity becomes very high, making handling and storage difficult
• Higher concentrations are prone to polymerization, crystallization, or gel formation, undesirable in food use
• Higher corrosiveness at >85% complicates safe dosing in foods
• 85% balances purity, usability, and safety
