Ascorbic acid mesh size
Mesh Size refers to the particle size of ascorbic acid powder
It indicates how fine or coarse the powder is based on the sieve openings it can pass through.
A higher mesh number corresponds to a finer powder with smaller particles.
Common mesh sizes Of Ascorbic Acid
- Ascorbic Acid with Mesh size 100 mesh:
The particle size is approximately 150 μm.
- Ascorbic Acid with Mesh size 20 to 80 mesh:
This is considered a fine granular
- Ascorbic Acid with Mesh size 325 :
This is an ultra-fine powder grade, indicating a very fine particle size.
Application based on Mesh Size:
Fine Granular Powders
Used in food and beverage production fortifying juices and cereals.
Ultra-Fine Powders:
The smaller particle size of these powders is beneficial for applications in certain pharmaceutical formulations or cosmetic production.
The smaller particles can dissolve more quickly into creams or suspensions.
