🧪 Step-by-Step Usage Examples:
1. Metal Cleaning and Descaling:
-
Dilute 100 mL of HCl (10%) with 900 mL water (always add acid to water).
-
Apply or immerse metal for 2–3 minutes.
-
Rinse thoroughly with distilled water and dry.
-
⚠️ Use gloves, goggles, and ensure ventilation.
2. Industrial pH Control:
-
Measure system pH before adjustment.
-
Add 10–25 mL of HCl 10% per 100L of water as needed.
-
Mix thoroughly and recheck pH.
3. Etching Metal Surfaces:
-
Immerse or brush on 10% HCl solution for 1–2 minutes.
-
Neutralize with sodium bicarbonate solution, then rinse.
4. Removing Limescale Deposits:
-
Apply 20–50 mL directly to affected areas.
-
Allow to react for 2–5 minutes, scrub, then rinse clean.
5. Cleaning Laboratory Glassware:
-
Rinse glassware with 10% HCl solution to remove residues.
-
Follow with distilled water rinse and air dry.
