Applications and Experiments for Tannic Acid
The tannin can be used to introduce natural-product chemistry and to show how compounds with many phenolic groups behave in solution. Prepared solutions support supervised qualitative demonstrations and let students compare a complex plant polyphenol with simpler phenols and organic acids.
- B.Sc. organic chemistry: lessons on tannins, polyphenols and natural products.
- Senior secondary chemistry: extending the phenols topic to plant-derived phenolic compounds.
- Preparing tannic acid solutions for supervised practical work, measuring water in a Measuring Cylinder 50ml and filtering through a short-stem Glass Funnel where the method calls for it.
- Solubility and reagent-behaviour observations recorded in practical files.
Standard Scope of Supply
Every unit is one pack of tannic acid in the quantity given on the quotation, labelled with batch, grade and hazard information and sent with its Safety Data Sheet and transport documents. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Send us the quantity you need, from one pack to a full stock for several laboratories, and the quotation will list packing, delivery time and price for it. Tannic acid can be quoted together with other organic reagents and chemistry lab equipment in India on one document.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt and Iraq. Questions and quote requests go through the contact page; a multi-item list can be built in the enquiry cart, and the lab tender page covers formal tender purchasing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is tannic acid used for in a laboratory?
It is used as a polyphenolic reagent for supervised chemistry teaching, tannic acid solution preparation, qualitative demonstrations and lessons on tannins and phenolic compounds, following the SOP and Safety Data Sheet.
