Hydrochloric acid
Hydrochloric acid is also known as anhydrous hydrogen chloride, referred to as hydrogen chloride or hydrochloric acid in English. This chemical reagent has the formula HCl. In its pure state, hydrogen chloride is a gas, and forms hydrochloric acid once dissolved in water. It is therefore available in liquid form. We offer it for sale in 23 kg jerricans, 241 kg drums, and 1155 kg IBCs.
