{"product_id":"hydrochloric-acid-37-hcl-37-technical-grade","title":"Hydrochloric Acid 37% (HCL 37%) - Technical Grade","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHydrochloric Acid 37% (HCL 37%) — Technical Grade is a highly corrosive, strong mineral acid with wide-ranging industrial utility. Formulated as a colorless, watery liquid with a sharp, irritating odor, this solution consists of hydrogen chloride gas dissolved in water. It is dense—with a physical behavior that sinks and mixes with water—meaning proper handling and systematic processes are critical for industrial operations. Alliance Chemical supplies this chemical in various packaging configurations to meet diverse commercial facility needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an essential component in chemical processing, our technical grade hydrochloric acid provides the low pH and high reactivity required for demanding acid-base reactions. It is widely used across North America for metallurgical operations, scale removal, and chemical synthesis. Because we maintain rigorous supply chain control, our customers receive a product that conforms precisely to the technical grade specification, ensuring process reproducibility. Each batch is accompanied by documentation to verify that the chemical parameters align with your facility's operational guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Grade\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTechnical grade chemicals are specifically manufactured to meet the needs of industrial and manufacturing processes where ultra-pure reagents are not economically or operationally necessary. This 37% concentration represents the standard concentrated solution of hydrochloric acid, maximizing chemical activity while remaining stable under normal atmospheric storage conditions. Choosing a lower concentration would require transporting excess water, increasing logistics costs and reducing reaction efficiency. Conversely, attempting to use analytical or electronic grades in industrial processes leads to unnecessary operational expenses without providing any functional benefit to the heavy-duty industrial workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing the incorrect grade or concentration can lead to severe system failure modes in industrial facilities. If a process requires 37% concentration but a weaker variant is introduced, reaction times will degrade, resulting in incomplete chemical conversions or failure to neutralize alkaline waste systems. Furthermore, using a lower grade with uncontrolled contaminants in metal pickling or plating lines can introduce unwanted heavy metals or organic impurities, leading to weak metallurgical bonds, surface pitting, or catalyst poisoning in organic synthesis. Utilizing our standardized technical grade ensures you avoid these costly operational delays and maintain predictable process outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"chemical-profile\" data-source=\"canonical\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChemical Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCAS Number\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e7647-01-0\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eChemical Formula\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eClH\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMolecular Weight\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e36.46 g\/mol\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eBoiling Point\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e123 °F at 760 mmHg (USCG, 1999)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMelting Point\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e-174.6 °F (Melting point is -13.7 °F for a 39.17% weight\/weight solution.)

Hydrochloric acid must be stored in specialized containers such as rubber-lined steel, polyethylene, or fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks; untransformed metals like carbon steel, copper, or aluminum will rapidly corrode and generate flammable hydrogen gas. Maintain storage temperatures within a controlled range, ideally below 85°F (29°C), in a well-ventilated, dry area away from direct sunlight. It must be kept strictly segregated from incompatible substances, including strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, metals, and amines, to prevent violent exothermic reactions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrder \u0026amp; Documentation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlliance Chemical makes procuring industrial-grade mineral acids straightforward for commercial facilities across the country.
