Product Description
Hydrochloric acid is a strong inorganic acid that is utilized widely in research and in large scale applications. Its large scale applications include the refinement of ore for the production of tin and tantalum, the cleaning of metal products, and the hydrolysis of starch and proteins in the manufacture of food products. HCl is also frequently used in chemical synthesis, as in the preparation of polyhydroxylated amino acid derivatives, 3,4-disubstituted piperidines, norcarbovir analogs, and (α-hydroxyalkyl)phosphorus amphiphiles.

HCl is an highly strong, volatile acid that can incur fatal damage when injected, inhaled, or come in contact with skin. Protective wear for the eyes, mucous membrane, and skin should be worn when handling the product, bettermost in a chemical hood.
