Hydrochloric Acid 30–33%
CAS 7647-01-0HCl36.46–36.47 g/mol
Hydrochloric Acid, widely used for metal treatment, is an essential industrial chemical. With a concentration of 30-33%, it effectively removes rust and scale from steel surfaces, making it indispensable in the steel pickling process. This clear or slightly yellow liquid supports industries from automotive to construction through applications in pH adjustment, chemical synthesis, and food processing. Major buyers include water treatment plants, chemical manufacturers, and food businesses across Kenya and East Africa.
Main applicationSteel pickling—removes rust and scale for metal finish preparation
Hydrochloric Acid is vital for industries that depend on efficient rust removal, pH adjustment, and chemical synthesis. In East Africa, it bolsters metal treatment, food processing, and water treatment operations, contributing significantly to regional industrial development. Its versatility and availability make it a crucial component in manufacturing and maintenance processes.

Hydrochloric Acid is delivered as a solution of HCl with a concentration of 30-33%. The acid is mostly clear but may have a slight yellow tint due to impurities. When selecting this grade, buyers need to consider the concentration's compatibility with their specific processes, especially in applications demanding precise chemical reactions or pH adjustments. Purchasers should specify the concentration and grade, particularly if it is intended for high-purity requirements such as food processing. This industrial/technical grade suits general applications but may not meet the purity needs of sensitive uses like pharmaceuticals.

Frequently asked questions
What is the CAS number of Hydrochloric Acid 30–33%?
The CAS registry number for Hydrochloric Acid 30–33% is 7647-01-0. Its chemical formula is HCl, with a molecular weight of 36.46–36.47 g/mol. Quote this number when requesting a quotation or checking documentation, as it identifies the substance unambiguously regardless of the trade name used.
What are the other names for Hydrochloric Acid 30–33%?
Hydrochloric Acid 30–33% is also referred to as Muriatic Acid and Spirits of Salt. These names describe the same substance, so a specification or enquiry written against any of them can be matched to this product.
What grade of Hydrochloric Acid 30–33% is supplied?
Hydrochloric Acid 30–33% is supplied as Technical grade. State the grade your process requires when requesting a quotation — where an alternative grade can be sourced, it is confirmed at quotation stage rather than assumed.
What concentration is Hydrochloric Acid 30–33% supplied at?
Hydrochloric Acid 30–33% is supplied at a concentration of 30-33%. Concentration and assay are separate figures: the concentration describes the strength of the material as supplied, and the certificate of analysis issued for your consignment carries the measured values for that batch.
What does Hydrochloric Acid 30–33% look like?
Hydrochloric Acid 30–33% is described as clear to slightly yellow liquid. Appearance is a useful first check on receipt of goods, though it does not replace the certificate of analysis for confirming that the material meets specification.
What is Hydrochloric Acid 30–33% used for?
Common applications include steel pickling—removes rust and scale for metal finish preparation, pH adjustment—balances pH in alkaline streams, chemical synthesis—produces chlorides, dyes, and PVC, oil-well acidising—enhances well permeability, food processing—acts as an acidulant in various products and construction cleaning—cleans brickwork and removes scale. The suitability of the product for a particular process depends on the grade and specification required, which is worth confirming against your own process conditions.
Which industries use Hydrochloric Acid 30–33%?
Hydrochloric Acid 30–33% is supplied to the Water Treatment, Food Processing & Beverage, Construction & Admixtures, Cleaning & Detergents and Oil, Gas & Energy sectors. These are the industries this product is listed against in our catalogue; if your application falls outside them, we can advise on suitability before you order.
What packaging is Hydrochloric Acid 30–33% available in?
Offered in 25 Litre containers for convenient industrial usage. Where a different pack size or bulk delivery is required, it is confirmed at quotation stage against availability rather than listed here as standard.
What is the EC number for Hydrochloric Acid 30–33%?
Hydrochloric Acid 30–33% is recorded against the EC number 231-595-7. Quote this on customs and export paperwork; it is confirmed again on the commercial invoice for your specific consignment.
