Hydrochloric Acid 5% Poly

Product Overview

Hydrochloric Acid 5% Poly (25L) is a high-grade aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride (HCl), designed for commercial and industrial use. This colourless liquid has a sharp, distinctive odour and strong corrosive properties, making it ideal for cleaning, descaling, and pH adjustment applications.

Formulated at 5% concentration, this solution provides effective chemical strength while remaining manageable for controlled industrial processes.

Key Features and Benefits

• Concentration: 5% Hydrochloric Acid solution in water

• Versatile Applications: Suitable for pH control, cleaning, descaling, and surface preparation

• High Purity: Consistent quality for reliable industrial performance

• Commercial Packaging: Supplied in a durable 25-litre poly container for safe handling and transport

• Effective Corrosive Action: Removes mineral deposits, rust, and scale with ease

Typical Applications

Hydrochloric Acid 5% is widely used across various sectors, including:

• Water Treatment and Swimming Pools: Used to lower and balance high pH levels.

• Industrial Cleaning: Removes rust, lime scale, and iron oxide from steel and iron prior to processing, coating, or fabrication.

• Concrete and Brick Cleaning: Breaks down mineral residues and surface staining, restoring clean finishes.

• Textile Production: Employed in bleaching and purification processes.

• Manufacturing and Refining: Used in battery production, oil refining, and other controlled chemical applications.

Technical Details

• Chemical Formula: HCl (5% aqueous solution)

• Appearance: Clear, colourless liquid

• Odour: Strong, pungent

• Type: Aqueous hydrogen chloride solution

• Conductivity: High electrical conductivity due to ionised particles

Hydrochloric acid is formed when hydrogen chloride gas is dissolved in water, creating an electrically conductive solution capable of participating in a wide range of industrial reactions.
