Hydrochloric Acid 20% – HCl | CAS 7647-01-0

Product Overview

This 20% v/v aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid provides a moderate-strength acid formulation ideal for a wide range of laboratory, industrial, and cleaning applications. It is a clear, colorless solution with a sharp, penetrating odor and strong acid dissociation in water. The 20% concentration delivers more aggressive acid performance than dilute blends while remaining easier to handle than full-strength solutions, making it suitable for pH control, scale removal, and surface prep processes.
