Nitric Acid 70% – ACS Grade Corrosive Acid

Description

Nitric Acid 70% is a highly concentrated, corrosive mineral acid widely used in industrial, laboratory, and manufacturing applications. This product is essential for metal etching, chemical synthesis, cleaning, and pH adjustment in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, electronics, and agriculture. Our Nitric Acid 70% solution is carefully packaged to ensure safe handling and is available in multiple sizes to suit your specific needs.

Applications of Nitric Acid 70%:

• Industrial – Used in metal treatment (etching, pickling), chemical manufacturing (fertilizers, explosives, dyes), and solvents in chemical synthesis.
• Agriculture – Key component in nitrate-based fertilizers to boost soil nitrogen levels.
• Pharmaceutical & Lab Use – Reagent in analysis, metal dissolution, and intermediate in drug production.
• Mining & Metallurgy – Extracts precious metals (gold/silver), metal refining.
• Explosives & Defense – Produces explosives (TNT, ANFO) and rocket propellants.
• Water Treatment – Adjusts pH and neutralizes alkaline wastewater.
• Electronics – Etching printed circuit boards (PCBs) by removing copper layers.
• Cleaning & Disinfection – Industrial equipment cleaning and scaling removal.
• Aerospace & Automotive – Used in alloys, airbags, and battery formulations.

Storage Guidelines:

• Storage Area:
  • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
  • Keep in a dedicated acid-resistant storage area, separate from incompatible materials like organic compounds, metals, alkalis, and flammable substances.
• Container Requirements:
  • Use stainless steel or polyethylene (HDPE) containers.
  • Ensure containers are tightly sealed to prevent leaks and vapor release.
• Temperature Control:
  • Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C (59-77°F).
  • Protect from freezing and overheating.
• Labeling:
  • Clearly label containers with hazard warnings and handling instructions.

Handling Guidelines:

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
  • Wear acid-resistant gloves, safety goggles, face shield, and chemical-resistant clothing.
  • Use a respirator when working in poorly ventilated areas or if vapor levels are high.
• Ventilation:
  • Ensure proper ventilation to avoid inhalation of toxic fumes.
  • Use local exhaust systems if handling large volumes.
• Spill Management:
  • In case of a spill, neutralize with a suitable base (e.g., sodium bicarbonate) and clean using absorbent material.
  • Avoid using combustible materials like sawdust for clean-up.
• Transport:
  • Transport in approved chemical containers.
  • Follow hazardous material regulations for shipping and handling.
