🧪 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.
