A crystalline powder, oxalic acid lends itself to many commercial applications, principally as a bleaching agent and as a reducing agent to remove tarnish, rust and ink stains. In art manufacture and conservation, further uses include removal of paint and varnish, and cleaning of encrustations from sculptures and paintings. ]]></note></mads>
