About Hydrochloric Acid
Hydrochloric acid (HCl), also called muriatic acid, is a strong mineral acid supplied as a water solution, usually around 30 to 33% strength. It is a workhorse chemical for steel pickling, pH control, regeneration of ion-exchange resins and chemical manufacturing.
Uses and applications of Hydrochloric Acid
- Pickling and descaling of steel before galvanising and coating
- Regeneration of cation-exchange resins in water treatment
- pH adjustment and neutralisation of alkaline effluents
- Manufacture of chlorides, dyes, pharmaceuticals and other chemicals
- Processing of gelatin, sugar and food ingredients in food grades
- Oil well acidising and cleaning of boilers and heat exchangers
Grades, forms and packing
Hydrochloric acid is offered in commercial (technical) grade, food grade and laboratory/AR grades. Akshar's listing indicates low sulphate and sulphite content. Strength, pack (carboys, drums, tankers) and COA are confirmed with the quotation. Tell us your application, monthly quantity and any test parameters you check, and we will suggest a suitable grade and pack size.

Storage and handling
Hydrochloric acid is corrosive and releases irritating fumes. Store in closed HDPE, FRP or rubber-lined containers in a cool, ventilated area away from alkalis, oxidisers and metals. Wear acid-resistant gloves, goggles, a face shield and an apron, work in a ventilated area, and keep water and an eyewash close by. See the SDS before use.
Other mineral acids: Nitric Acid and Phosphoric Acid.

Feature:
Physical properties of hydrochloric acid, such as boiling and melting points, density, and pH, depend on the concentration or molarity of HCl in the aqueous solution. They range from those of water at very low concentrations approaching 0% HCl to values for fuming hydrochloric acid at over 40% HCl.
