Hydrochloric Acid 33% (40 kg)

Hydrochloric acid 33% (40 kg) is an industrial-grade, highly concentrated, and corrosive mineral acid. It is primarily used for heavy-duty metal cleaning, pH regulation, and chemical manufacturing. Packaged in 40 kg (approx. 30–40 L) HDPE jerricans or drums, it is a clear-to-pale-yellow liquid with a sharp, pungent odor.

Key Specifications & Properties

• Concentration: ~33% by weight
• Chemical Formula: HCl (Hydrogen chloride dissolved in water)
• pH Level: < 1 (Highly acidic)
• Density: ≈ 1.16 g/cm³ at 20°C
• Packaging: 40 kg heavy-duty HDPE container

Primary Applications

• Metal Treatment: Extensively used for “pickling” to remove rust, scale, and oxide layers from iron and steel before processing.
• Industrial & Commercial Cleaning: Used to strip heavy deposits from construction surfaces, masonry, and tiles.
• pH Adjustment: Lowers and balances alkalinity in swimming pools, industrial wastewater, and municipal water treatment.
• Chemical Synthesis: A core building block in the manufacturing of inorganic compounds, including PVC plastics and various chlorides.
• Mining & Refining: Employed in mineral processing and the gold recovery process.
