HydrochloricAcid(HCl)

Premium quality strong mineral acid for industrial and commercial applications across global markets

Hydrochloric Acid

Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) is a highly corrosive, strong mineral acid composed of hydrogen and chlorine. Commonly known as muriatic acid for cleaning, it is one of the most important industrial chemicals in the world.

In the chemical industry, HCl plays a key role in the production of chlorides, fertilizers, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. Its strong acidic nature makes it indispensable across steel pickling, pH control, water treatment, and chemical manufacturing.

Pvc Resin

Hydrochloric Acid plays a critical role in the Pvc Resin Process, particularly in the synthesis of polyvinyl chloride from vinyl chloride monomer (VCM). HCl is a key byproduct and raw material in this process.

It enables better plasticizer integration, improved flexibility, and enhanced flame-retardant properties in both flexible and rigid PVC Resin.

Steel Pickling

One of the largest industrial uses of HCl is in steel pickling — removing rust, scale, and surface impurities from steel before galvanizing, rolling, or coating.

Hydrochloric acid offers faster pickling rates and cleaner surfaces compared to alternatives, making it the preferred choice for modern steel mills globally.

Cleaning & Descaling

Dilute HCl (muriatic acid) is one of the most effective and economical cleaning agents for removing scale, rust, mortar stains, and hard water deposits from construction materials, boilers, and heat exchangers.

It is widely used in swimming pool maintenance, masonry cleaning, and industrial descaling operations worldwide.

Masonry Cleaning Boiler Descaling Pool Maintenance
  • Removes calcium carbonate scale from boilers
  • Cleans tile, concrete and masonry surfaces
  • Effective swimming pool pH reducer
  • Widely available in dilute muriatic form

Safety & Handling Guidelines

Hydrochloric acid is highly corrosive. Strict safety protocols must be followed at all times during handling, storage, and transport.

Protective Equipment

  • Chemical-resistant gloves
  • Safety goggles or face shield
  • Acid-resistant apron or suit
  • Closed-toe, resistant footwear

Storage Requirements

  • Use corrosion-resistant containers (HDPE)
  • Keep away from metals and bases
  • Store in cool, well-ventilated area
  • Away from sunlight and heat sources

Safe Handling

  • Ensure forced ventilation at work area
  • Never add water to acid — add acid to water
  • Avoid inhaling fumes
  • Use acid-rated transfer pumps

Emergency Response

  • Flush affected skin/eyes with water 15 min
  • Remove contaminated clothing immediately
  • Seek immediate medical attention
  • Use sodium bicarbonate for spill neutralization
