High-purity Hydrochloric Acid (HCl), 33% commercial concentration — exported from Gujarat to Africa, the GCC and Asia for steel pickling, mining, water treatment and textile processing. UN-approved packaging, IMDG Class 8, third-party COA on every shipment.
Hydrochloric Acid (muriatic acid) is a strong mineral acid supplied at 33% commercial concentration as a colourless to pale-yellow fuming liquid. It is the workhorse acid for steel pickling, ore leaching, water-treatment pH control and textile processing. Every consignment ships with a third-party Certificate of Analysis, GHS Safety Data Sheet and full IMDG dangerous-goods documentation.

Hydrochloric Acid is UN 1789, IMDG Class 8 (Corrosive), Packing Group II. Every shipment leaves Gujarat with complete dangerous-goods paperwork.
As a corrosive liquid, HCl is shipped only in UN-approved HM-HDPE jerrycans, square mousers or composite IBCs — never decanted into uncertified containers. Each consignment includes the IMDG DG declaration, UN-marked packing certificate, GHS Safety Data Sheet and third-party COA, with hazard labels and the Class 8 placard applied. Store and stow away from alkalis, oxidisers and reactive metals; the acid fumes, so keep containers closed and well ventilated.
