Hydro Chloric Acid – 15ltr

Hydrochloric Acid – 15 L

Hydrochloric Acid (also known as muriatic acid) is a strong, colourless (or faintly yellow), highly corrosive aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride (HCl). It is widely used in heavy-duty cleaning, masonry preparation, water treatment and industrial processes.

Core Properties

• Appearance & odour: Clear, potentially slightly yellow; pungent odour.

• Acid strength: Strong inorganic acid; available in technical-grade concentrations (including 15%, 32% etc.).

• Chemical formula: HCl (CAS 7647‑01‑0).

Applications & Use Cases

• Masonry and concrete cleaning: Removes cement smears, mortar residue, efflorescence and rust from brick, block and stone surfaces. Widely used to prepare surfaces for painting, sealing or rendering.

• Concrete etching: Prepares new concrete surfaces to improve adhesion of coatings or overlays.

• Steel pickling and metal cleaning: Removes oxide scale and rust to prepare metal for galvanisation or further processing.

• pH control: Used in water treatment systems and swimming pools to lower pH. Also for industrial effluent neutralisation.

• Ion exchange resin regeneration: Used in demineralised water production and industrial purification systems.

Available Concentrations & Packaging

• 
  15 L container: industrial-use size, common among suppliers for site and trade use.

• Larger volumes (e.g. 55 gal drums, IBCs) are available for high-volume industrial applications.

Handling & Safety

• Highly corrosive: Causes severe burns to skin and eyes; inhalation may irritate the respiratory system. Protective gear (acid-resistant gloves, goggles, protective clothing) and adequate ventilation are essential.

• Dilution instruction: Always add acid to water, never the reverse, to prevent violent reaction.

• Neutralisation & disposal: Spills should be neutralised with sodium bicarbonate; small leftover amounts can be diluted and neutralised before disposal, but local regulations apply.
