Product Overview & Quality

Product Name: Hydrochloric acid (Muriatic acid)
Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-1367)
Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade) with a standard high concentration of 36 percent. Meticulously manufactured and verified under Kemaus premium laboratory protocols to guarantee exceptionally low trace elements of heavy metals, bromides, sulfates, and free chlorine (at ppm levels). This high-purity profile ensures maximum operational reliability and clean instrumental baselines.
Physical Properties: Clear, colorless to slightly yellowish liquid, emitting highly pungent, suffocating, and corrosive volatile acidic vapors (fuming acid).
Solubility: Completely miscible in all proportions with water, releasing minor exothermic energy upon dilution.
Key Use: Widely utilized as a primary stock solution for preparing accurate volumetric standard acid solutions used in acid-base titrations. Heavily applied as a standard pH regulator to lower pH profiles in chemical mixtures and biological matrices. Commonly used in sample digestion workflows to dissolve metallic elements and mineral compounds prior to elemental analysis via ICP or AAS. Also functions as a heavy-duty chemical cleaning reagent for stripping inorganic scales or mineral residues from laboratory glassware, and acts as a reactive agent in organic synthesis.

Safety & Hazards (Critical & Corrosive)

Classification: May be corrosive to metals. Causes severe skin burns and eye damage. May cause respiratory irritation.
Health Risks: Direct tissue or ocular exposure triggers immediate, agonizing chemical burns, tissue destruction, and potential permanent blindness. Inhalation of concentrated volatile vapors aggressively attacks the upper respiratory tract, inducing severe coughing, choking, throat inflammation, and pulmonary distress.
First Aid Measures: In case of exposure, immediately flush affected eyes or skin with a continuous stream of flowing water for at least 15 to 30 minutes while removing contaminated garments. Seek urgent medical emergency evacuation immediately. If vapors are inhaled, move the victim to fresh air instantly.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Highly Corrosive and Fuming. Must be stored in its original, acid-resistant, tightly sealed Kemaus container inside a dedicated corrosive safety cabinet. Keep in a cool, dry, and excellently ventilated storage zone at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius). Keep strictly isolated from strong bases (e.g., sodium hydroxide), active metals, flammable materials, direct heat, and cyanide compounds (to prevent the generation of lethal hydrogen cyanide gas).
Precautions: Comprehensive specialized PPE is mandatory, including heavy-duty chemical-resistant gloves, splash-proof safety goggles, a full face shield, and an acid-resistant protective apron. Handle strictly and exclusively within a properly functioning laboratory fume hood to contain toxic acidic fumes.
