Hydrochloric Acid – High-Purity

Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) is an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride gas, producing a strong, monoprotic mineral acid with a characteristic sharp, pungent odor. It is one of the most widely produced and consumed industrial chemicals globally, serving as a critical raw material in dozens of manufacturing processes. Moon Bright Resources supplies high-quality hydrochloric acid at 30-35% concentration by weight, manufactured under strict quality controls with low impurities including iron (≤5 ppm) and heavy metals (≤2 ppm). Our product meets technical and industrial grade standards, making it suitable for steel processing, oil and gas stimulation, water treatment, ore processing, and chemical synthesis. We offer flexible packaging from 25 kg carboys to bulk tanker deliveries, with full documentation including Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheets. hydrochloric acid drums supplier

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the difference between hydrochloric acid and muriatic acid?
A1: There is no chemical difference — muriatic acid is simply an older, traditional name for hydrochloric acid, typically referring to lower-purity industrial grades used for cleaning and pool pH adjustment. Technical and pharmaceutical grades are simply referred to as hydrochloric acid. Both have the same chemical formula (HCl) but differ in purity and impurity levels. Our hydrochloric acid meets industrial specifications with controlled impurities. hydrochloric acid CIF supplier

Q2: How should hydrochloric acid be handled safely?
A2: Hydrochloric acid is highly corrosive and causes severe burns to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Always wear appropriate PPE including chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles or full face shield, acid-resistant apron, and closed-toe shoes. Use in well-ventilated areas or under fume hood. Always add acid to water, never water to acid, to prevent violent splattering. In case of skin contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. We provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) with every shipment. hydrochloric acid price per ton

Q3: Do you offer OEM / private label packaging?
A3: Yes, Moon Bright Resources provides full OEM services for hydrochloric acid. We can package under your brand name with custom-printed containers (25 L, 30 L, 200 L, or IBC totes), custom concentration specifications (from 5% to 37%), and your choice of industrial, technical, or food grade. Minimum OEM order quantity is 10 metric tons. We also offer custom labeling with multilingual safety warnings, tamper-evident seals, and UN-approved packaging for transport. hydrogen chloride solution supplier

Q4: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A4: MOQ is 25 kg (one carboy) for sample orders, 500 kg (2-3 drums) for small commercial orders, and 10 metric tons for wholesale pricing. Bulk orders of 20 metric tons or more (full tanker or container) qualify for discounted rates. For OEM private label orders, MOQ is 10 metric tons. Food/USP grade requires a minimum of 5 metric tons. Full tanker load is typically 15-25 metric tons. hydrochloric acid wholesale supplier

Q5: How should hydrochloric acid be stored?
A5: Store in original tightly sealed HDPE or plastic containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and incompatible materials. Keep away from bases (sodium hydroxide, ammonia), oxidizers, metals (aluminum, magnesium, zinc), and organic materials. Use secondary containment to prevent spills. Ideal storage temperature is 15-30°C. Shelf life is 12-24 months when stored properly — concentration may decrease over time due to fuming. Do not store in metal containers as HCl corrodes most metals. Store away from living and working areas. cheap hydrochloric acid bulk
