Acids

An acid is traditionally considered as any chemical compound that, when dissolved in water, produces a solution with a hydronium cation activity higher than pure water, which means the pH is lower than 7.

Glacial acetic acid (ACE00285)
Used in photography and the manufacturing of plastics, paints, adhesives and organic solvents.

Powdered USP boric acid (BOR062237)
Antiseptic and antifungal.

Hydrochloric or muriatic acid 20B (HYD30825)
Used to scale or disinfect, to manufacture fertilizer or to strip metals. It removes the efflorescence on bricks.  

Citric acid (CIT11670)
Acts as anti-limescale. Scales, cleans or dissolves white deposits and is an incredible antioxidant.

35% Hydrofluoric acid (HYD 30825)
Here are some uses: for treating or cleaning metal surfaces, including aluminum or stainless-steel equipment; for manufacturing aluminum; for etching, polishing and matting glass and ceramic; in electronics for etching and polishing silicon sheets.

Formic acid (FOR27529)
Reactive in organic chemistry. Preservative for food and ensilage. Used in apiculture and leather tanning.

Nitric acid (NIT44145)
It is generally used as an aqueous solution, in manufacturing fertilizer and some oxidation processes.

Phosphoric acid (MEL510)
Dietary or technical. Several concentrations available.

Fertilizer manufacturing. Surface treatment of metals. Cleaning of surfaces (metal, tile, porcelain). Water treatment. Petrochemistry catalyst.  Traitement des eaux. Catalyseur en pétrochimie.

Sulfuric acid (SUL 71701)
It is mostly used for fertilizer manufacturing, textile production, mineral processing, electricity storage in lead batteries, metal pickling and the synthesis of dyes, detergents.
