Hydrochloric Acid Extra Pure is a highly concentrated and refined form of HCl, known for its exceptional purity and reliability in laboratory and analytical applications. This strong, corrosive mineral acid is commonly used for pH regulation, sample digestion, metal cleaning, and inorganic compound synthesis. Its extra pure grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for high-precision chemical analysis, reagent preparation, and critical industrial processes. Due to its reactive and volatile nature, it must be handled with care under well-ventilated conditions and stored in corrosion-resistant containers.
Hydrochloric Acid Extra Pure
Primary Uses
- pH adjustment and acid-base titrations:
Commonly used to neutralize alkaline solutions or in quantitative titrations involving bases such as sodium hydroxide. - Preparation of water-soluble metal salts:
Reacts with metal oxides, hydroxides, and carbonates to produce chloride salts (e.g., zinc chloride, calcium chloride). - Digestion of samples for elemental analysis:
Employed in wet digestion procedures for preparing samples before ICP, AAS, or colorimetric analysis.
Secondary Uses
- Cleaning of glassware and removal of metal oxides:
Used to etch or clean glass surfaces, and to dissolve rust and scale from metal parts in apparatus. - Generation of hydrogen chloride gas (HCl):
Reacts with dehydrating agents like sulfuric acid to produce anhydrous HCl for gas-phase reactions. - Catalyst in organic reactions and hydrolysis processes:
Acts as a proton donor catalyst in reactions such as ester hydrolysis, amide cleavage, or chlorination steps.

- Use a face shield for additional protection.
- Always handle in a well-ventilated area or fume hood.
Handling:
- Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
- Do not inhale vapors or mists.
- Never add water to acid; always add acid to water when diluting.
- Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
- Keep container tightly closed and in corrosion-resistant, labeled containers.
- Avoid storing near bases, oxidizers, and metals.
FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
- Move person to fresh air immediately.
- Seek medical attention if breathing is difficult or symptoms persist.
Skin Contact:
- Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
- Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
- Seek medical attention for burns or persistent irritation.
Eye Contact:
- Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.
- Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.
- Continue rinsing and get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion:
- Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting.
- Give water to dilute only if the person is fully conscious.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability:
- Not flammable, but can emit toxic gases when heated.
Extinguishing Media:
- Use dry chemical, foam, or CO₂ for surrounding fire.
- Do not use water directly on the acid spill; may cause splattering.
Hazardous Combustion Products:
- Hydrogen chloride gas, chlorine gas.
Firefighter Protection:
- Use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear.
- Approach fire from upwind to avoid corrosive vapors.
