Hydrochloric acid
Hydrochloric acid is also known as anhydrous hydrogen chloride, and 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 in liquid form. We offer it for sale in 23 kg cans, 241 kg drums, and 1155 kg IBCs.
MAIN FUNCTIONS
Naturally present in the human body in gastric juices, hydrochloric acid is widely used in chemical processes, as well as for metal pickling and swimming pool maintenance.
