Altiras offers three different inorganic acids: hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and phosphoric acid. These inorganic acids are available in 3 different quality grades:
- Prime Replacement Grade – these products are very comparable to prime, industrial products.
- Intermediate Grade – these products generally are more dilute than prime, industrial products due to higher water content, and generally have a bit higher color.
- Neutralizer Grade – these products are generally more dilute or have other constituents that will not interfere with neutralization but could impact more sensitive processes.
Hydrochloric Acid
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a highly versatile and widely used chemical in various industries. It is a strong, corrosive acid primarily employed for pH control, metal cleaning, and water treatment. In the chemical industry, HCl is essential for processes such as pickling of steel to remove rust and scale, regenerating ion exchange resins in water treatment, and producing organic compounds like vinyl chloride for PVC manufacturing.
Altiras offers hydrochloric acid at concentrations ranging from 15% to 32%, catering to different industrial applications. We supply HCl in bulk rail, bulk truck, or tote quantities, ensuring flexible delivery options for large-scale operations.
Sulfuric Acid
Due to its strong acidic properties, sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) is a highly corrosive and widely used chemical across various industries. It is crucial in metal processing, chemical manufacturing, and fertilizer production. In mining, sulfuric acid is commonly used in ore processing and acid leaching. It is also used in petroleum refining, battery production, and wastewater treatment for pH control and neutralization.
Altiras offers sulfuric acid in concentrations ranging from 70% to 98%, available in bulk trucks or totes. This ensures flexible delivery options for industries requiring large volumes.
Phosphoric Acid
Phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) is a key chemical used across many industries for its versatility and strong acidic properties. It is critical in the production of fertilizers, which provide essential nutrients for plant growth. In the metal treatment industry, companies use phosphoric acid for rust removal and apply phosphate coatings to protect metals from corrosion.
Altiras offers phosphoric acid in concentrations ranging from 70% to 85%, available in bulk trucks or totes. These flexible delivery options ensure you receive the right quantity for your operations, whether for use in industrial cleaning, pharmaceutical applications, or agriculture.
