Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)
Hydrochloric Acid is a fundamental strong mineral acid widely used for its aggressive descaling and neutralizing capabilities. It is standardly supplied as a 31-37% Technical Grade solution for bulk industrial applications.
The substance is indispensable in the metal processing industry for pickling and removing rust from steel and iron. Its high acidity and clear, colorless appearance make it a versatile reagent for pH control in various sectors.
In the energy sector, it is a vital component for oil well acidizing, enhancing the recovery of petroleum by dissolving rock formations. It is a cost-effective and powerful chemical essential for modern industrial infrastructure.
