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
