Product Description

Specification

STANDARD:GB/T GB320-20

Product Description

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a potent and highly corrosive acid that finds widespread use in industrial processes, laboratory experiments, and cleaning applications. It is a colorless and irritating aqueous solution, easily volatile and has a pungent odor. It appears light yellow when it contains traces of iron (iron oxide), free chlorine or organic matter. Strong acid, can be mixed with water and ethanol in any ratio. Strongly corrosive, can be neutralized with alkali, and has no effect with phosphorus, sulfur and other non-metallic substances. Hydrochloric acid is generated by dissolving hydrogen chloride gas in water and is frequently employed in the production of fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and dyes. In the food industry, it is utilized to regulate the pH of specific products, such as cheese and beer. Nonetheless, due to its corrosive properties, it can pose a serious threat if not handled with great care. Inhaling or ingesting it can result in severe burns and damage to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
