Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is a clear, colourless, and pungent solution also known as muriatic acid. Hydrochloric acid is created by dissolving hydrogen chloride gas in water and is a by-product of chlorine manufacture, along with sodium hypochlorite and sodium hydroxide.

Key features of hydrochloric acid include:

• Appearance: Liquid
• Formula: HCR
• Boiling point (degrees Celsius): Not determined
• Melting point (degrees Celsius): Not determined
• Relative density: Approx. 1.18 at 20°C
• CAS No.: 7647-01-0

ReAgent supplies hydrochloric acid in both 2.5L and 25L containers, but we also offer a range of other pack sizes if needed, from a few hundred millilitres up to 1000L IBCs (Intermediate Bulk containers). You can also opt for personalised packaging and customised labelling to ensure your product aligns with your brand and unique needs.

Applications of Hydrochloric Acid

Hydrochloric acid is considered a “workhorse” chemical due to its versatility. Due to it’s versatile nature, it has many different uses:

• Steel and Metal Industry – Removes rust, scale, and impurities during the steel pickling process
• Chemical Manufacturing – Used in the production of chlorides, metal salts, and organic compounds
• Mining & Metallurgy – Assists in leaching metals such as copper, uranium, and rare earth elements
• Oil & Gas – Applied in well acidizing and stimulation treatments to improve permeability and production rates
• Textiles & Rubber – Acts as a pH regulator during textile processing and improves rubber adhesion during vulcanisation
• Food Industry – Adjusts pH, enhances flavour, and aids in the production of additives and gelatin
• Water Treatment – Regulates alkalinity and removes metal contaminants from industrial water systems
• Ion-Exchange Resin Regeneration – Essential for restoring resin efficiency in water softening and demineralisation processes

Storing Hydrochloric Acid Safely

Due to its highly corrosive nature, hydrochloric acid must always be handled with care:

• Store in a well-ventilated area away from non-compatible materials and solutions
• Skin and eye contact must be avoided at all times, as well as ingestion and/or inhalation
• HCl must be stored in chemically resistant containers made of materials like high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or certain types of stainless steel

Always refer to our Material Safety Data sheet (MSDS) for full details on hydrochloric acid safety and storage.
