Description:
Hydrochloric acid is a clear, colorless, and highly corrosive mineral acid widely used in laboratories and industries. With a typical concentration of 36.5%–38%, it meets ACS and ISO standards, making it suitable for pH control, metal cleaning, water treatment, and chemical synthesis. Due to its strong reactivity, it should be handled with proper safety precautions such as gloves, goggles, and ventilation.
