Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)
Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) is a strong, highly corrosive inorganic acid widely used across chemical manufacturing, metal processing, water treatment, oil & gas, textile, pharmaceutical, and cleaning industries.
It is formed by dissolving hydrogen chloride gas in water and is represented chemically as HCl. Hydrochloric Acid appears as a clear to slightly yellowish liquid with a sharp, pungent odor and is known for its strong acidity and high chemical reactivity.
At Maruti Trading, we supply high-quality Hydrochloric Acid suitable for diverse industrial applications with reliable purity, safe packaging, and bulk supply capability.

Product Description
Hydrochloric Acid is one of the most widely used industrial acids globally due to its strong acidic properties and extensive industrial utility. It plays a critical role in chemical production, metal treatment, pH regulation, industrial cleaning, and manufacturing operations.
Commercial grades may occasionally show a slight yellowish tint due to trace impurities such as dissolved iron. Because of its corrosive nature, Hydrochloric Acid must be handled carefully to avoid injuries to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
It reacts with metals and may release flammable hydrogen gas, making proper storage and handling essential.
