Phosphoric acid 

Phosphoric acid, also known as orthophosphoric acid is a weak mineral acid with the chemical formula of H3PO4. It contains three atoms of hydrogen, one atom of phosphorus and four atoms of oxygen.

Phosphoric acid is widely available as 85% aqueous solution which is colourless, odourless and non-volatile liquid. The pure form of phosphoric acid compound is usually in a crystalline solid-state.

Applications:
Rust Remover

Phosphoric acid is known as best rust remover on the market. It acts quickly on rust and is not overly aggressive on underlying metal. When the solution in liquid is placed directly on rusted areas of steel, steel tools or steel surfaces, the rust is converted from the red oxide to a black ferric phosphate. After the rust has been converted to black ferric phosphate it can easily be scrubbed off. The coating of iron phosphate serves as a short-term rust inhibitor.

Widely used to provide phosphate conversion coating in the anti rust treatment of steel aluminium, zinc, cadmium, silver and tin.
