2. Pharmaceutical Industry (Pharmaceutical Excipients): Sodium Citrate is an important excipient in the pharmaceutical industry, primarily used in effervescent tablets, syrups, and intravenous (IV) fluids. It acts as a buffering agent, helping to maintain the stability of the active ingredients in drug formulations. Sodium Citrate also helps adjust the pH in some liquid medications, making them easier to absorb in the body. Kamala Chemicals offers pharmaceutical-grade Sodium Citrate that meets stringent regulatory standards for safe medical use.
3. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: In the cosmetics and personal care industry, Sodium Citrate is used as a pH adjuster in products like shampoos, lotions, and facial cleansers. It helps to balance the pH levels of the formulation, ensuring that the product is effective and gentle on the skin. Sodium Citrate is also used in the production of bath products, where it helps enhance the solubility of salts and minerals. Kamala Chemicals provides quality Sodium Citrate that is safe for use in personal care and cosmetic products.
4. Water Treatment: Sodium Citrate is used in water treatment processes, particularly in boiler water treatment. It functions as a chelating agent, binding with calcium and magnesium ions to prevent scale formation in pipes and equipment. Additionally, Sodium Citrate is used to improve the efficiency of water softeners. Kamala Chemicals supplies Sodium Citrate for various industrial water treatment applications, ensuring smooth and efficient operations for industries that rely on water systems.
5. Textile Industry (Dyeing and Finishing); In the textile industry, Sodium Citrate plays a crucial role in the dyeing and finishing of fabrics.

Sodium Citrate is also used to remove excess dye from fabrics and improve the overall quality of finished textiles. Kamala Chemicals supplies Sodium Citrate for textile manufacturers, helping them achieve superior fabric quality and vibrant colors.
6. Cleaning Products and Detergents: Sodium Citrate is widely used in the formulation of cleaning products and detergents. It serves as a builder to enhance the effectiveness of surfactants, helping to remove dirt and stains more efficiently. Sodium Citrate also softens water by binding to calcium and magnesium ions, improving the performance of liquid detergents and dishwasher powders. Kamala Chemicals provides Sodium Citrate for use in industrial and household cleaning products, ensuring high performance and cleaner results.
7. Metal Cleaning and Surface Treatment: In metal cleaning and surface treatment, Sodium Citrate is used as a chelating agent in the removal of rust, scale, and other deposits from metal surfaces. It is often used in combination with other chemicals to improve the cleaning process without damaging the metal. Kamala Chemicals offers Sodium Citrate to companies in the manufacturing and metal processing industries, helping maintain clean and smooth metal surfaces.
8. Beverage and Dairy Industry (Cheese Production): In the dairy industry, Sodium Citrate is used to improve the texture and meltability of processed cheese. It is added to cheese products like cheese slices and cheese sauces to ensure a smooth, creamy consistency. Sodium Citrate also helps to prevent cheese from becoming too acidic during production. Kamala Chemicals supplies Sodium Citrate for use in the cheese production process, contributing to higher quality and better-tasting dairy products.
9. Laboratory Reagents: Sodium Citrate is frequently used in laboratories as a buffer solution in biochemical and diagnostic applications. It is commonly employed in the preparation of blood anticoagulants for tests like the prothrombin time test. Sodium Citrate is also used in cell culture media and as a reagent in various chemical analyses. Kamala Chemicals provides high-purity Sodium Citrate suitable for laboratory and research applications, ensuring accuracy and reliability in experimental work.
10. Food Preservation (Citric Acid Substitute): In addition to its role as an acidity regulator, Sodium Citrate can also be used as a preservative in the food industry. It helps to prevent spoilage by controlling the pH levels of food products, particularly in fruits and vegetables. Sodium Citrate is an effective citric acid substitute in canned goods, jams, and sauces, helping extend shelf life without compromising taste. Kamala Chemicals offers Sodium Citrate that is safe and effective for food preservation and product quality.
