Help with mixing sulphamic acid

[buttons-and-bows]

Can someone tell me how much water to add to sulphamic acid powder to make a normal liquid solution for a cleaning product, I have looked but its a bit mind blowing for a simpleton

says 1kg to 9 litres of water. I guess you will be mixing rather less? How is it packed?

Do be careful with it - wear gloves at the very least

Websites keep saying it is "safer than Hydrochloric" which really is not saying much.

In a little tub, I only bought 100 gms. I have still been looking and saw 20gms to a ltr of water. I need to add 3 to 6% sulphamic acid to the product I have, so i thought it would be simpler if I am adding it to liquid to make it up into a solution first, and then add 3 to 6% to it.

When diluting an acid, always add the acid to the water - not the water to the acid.

Thank you mel, I will remember that

I'd forgotten that but you are, of course, right, Mel.
