Hydrochloric Acid is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula HCl and CAS Number 7647-01-0. It is commonly supplied as an aqueous solution in various concentrations, ranging from dilute laboratory solutions to concentrated acid. The appearance and physical properties may vary depending on concentration and product specifications.

Hydrochloric Acid is valued for its strong acidic properties and ability to react with bases, metal oxides, carbonates, and certain metals. Common laboratory applications include acid-base titrations, pH adjustment, preparation of chloride salts, inorganic chemical analysis, and sample preparation. It is also used in procedures involving the dissolution of selected inorganic materials and the study of acid-base reactions.

The appropriate concentration and grade should be selected according to the intended application. Analytical-grade products may be suitable for quantitative analysis, while other grades may be intended for general laboratory or industrial use.

KSFE Malaysia supplies laboratory chemicals and scientific products for research institutions, educational facilities, and general laboratory applications, subject to applicable chemical regulations.

Safety Note: Hydrochloric Acid is corrosive and can cause severe skin burns and serious eye damage. Its vapours may cause severe irritation or injury to the respiratory tract. Handle the product in a suitable, well-ventilated area or chemical fume hood, using acid-resistant gloves, protective clothing, and appropriate eye and face protection. Always follow the supplier's instructions for dilution; when preparing dilute solutions, add acid slowly to water, never water to acid. Keep away from incompatible substances and follow the supplier's safety data sheet (SDS) for handling, storage, and disposal.
