Citric Acid is colourless, weak organic acid with chemical formula C6H8O7. It occurs naturally in citrus fruits. It is used widely as an acidifier. It is very soluble in water. Citric acid anhydrous is non-toxic and has a low reactivity. It is chemically stable if stored at ambient temperatures. Citric acid anhydrous is fully biodegradable and can be disposed of with regular waste or sewage.

Hexylene glycol also known as 2-methyl pentane-2,4-diol, pinakon and Diolane is a clear, colourless liquid with a characteristic odour.  It is fully miscible in water and has the chemical formula C6H14O2. Hexylene glycol is a low-evaporating solvent. It is mainly used as a surfactant or emulsifying agent. 

Methyl isobutyl ketone is a stable, colorless liquid having pleasant odor with the formula (CH3)2CHCH2C(O)CH3. It is slightly soluble in water and miscible with most organic solvents. Due to low solubility in water, it is useful for liquid-liquid extraction. It can be used to extract gold, silver and other precious metals from cyanide solutions. Methyl isobutyl ketone is also used as a denaturing agent for denatured alcohol. It is both a medium-boiling and a medium-evaporating solvent. This is used as a solvent for gums, resins and varnishes.
