Chemical Profile

Product Overview

Hydrochloric Acid 15% Technical Grade is a clear, colorless to slightly yellow aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride (HCl). Often referred to as Muriatic Acid or Spirits of Salt, this concentration provides powerful acidic performance for industrial applications requiring precise pH control and aggressive reactivity. The 15% concentration is optimized for ease of handling while maintaining sufficient strength for metal pickling, scale removal, and neutralization processes.

This Technical Grade solution is manufactured to meet strict specifications for industrial use. It is widely employed in water treatment facilities for alkalinity control, in metal processing for surface preparation, and in the chemical industry as a fundamental reagent. The product minimizes trace impurities to prevent contamination in downstream operations, offering a reliable acid source for manufacturing and processing environments.
