Inorganic Acid (identity not disclosed)

  • Acids
  • CAS unknown
  • IUPAC: unknown

Inorganic Acid (identity not disclosed) (CAS unknown) appears in 1 of the 1,812 car-care products CarCareTruth tracks (as of June 2026). It is readily biodegradable.

Exact identity not disclosed in Biocide Systems ClO2-DMG MSDS (2014). Inorganic acid activators used in ClO2 granule systems at the concentrations required (67–70% by weight of the precursor blend) can be corrosive or irritating at ingredient level. Within the sealed, single-use pouch format, consumer exposure to the neat acid is minimal under normal use; primary hazard is ClO2 gas generated during the reaction (see sodium-chlorite.md).

Inorganic Acid is the acid activator component in the Biocide Systems ClO2-DMG granule formula. Its exact chemical identity is not disclosed in the publicly available MSDS (Biocide Systems LLC, issued 2014-03-10). It is present at 67–70% by weight of the precursor blend and reacts with sodium chlorite upon water addition to generate chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas. The finished ClO2 gas and its degradation products (sodium chloride and water) are the relevant exposure and environmental concern; the acid activator itself is consumed in the reaction.
