About Nitric Acid HNO3

Leveraging on our rich industry experience, we are offering our clients the finest qualityNitric Acid HNO3. It is regarded as highly corrosive material that is colorless in nature. Depending on the property, this range is widely used as primary agent that is meant for nitration caused by addition of nitro group. To comply with the safety norms of the industry, our vendors use premium grade chemical compounds to formulate the acid. For easy and safe transportation we pack theNitric Acid HNO3using quality approved packaging materials.

Robust Storage and Safety Measures

Proper storage of nitric acid is essential to maintain its stability and preserve its shelf life. It should be kept in a cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Suitable packaging includes HDPE drums or glass bottles to prevent decomposition and leakage. Due diligence ensures safe handling and extends product usability.

Versatile Industrial Applications

Nitric acid finds broad use in industries such as explosives manufacturing, fertilizer production, metal treatment, etching processes, and scientific laboratories. Its powerful oxidizing capacity and high purity make it a reliable choice for various technical and analytical applications. Sourcing from certified suppliers guarantees consistent quality.

FAQs of Nitric Acid HNO3:

Q: How should nitric acid be stored for optimal safety and stability?

A: Nitric acid should be stored in a cool, ventilated place, sealed tightly in HDPE drums or glass bottles. It must remain away from heat, light, and incompatible substances to prevent decomposition and ensure safe usage for up to 12 months.

Q: What precautions must be taken during handling and transport of nitric acid?

A: Personal protective equipment, such as acid-resistant gloves and eye protection, should always be worn. Since nitric acid is classified as both a corrosive (Class 8) and oxidizer (Class 5.1) under transport regulations, it must be handled and shipped per UN Number 2031 guidelines, ensuring proper containment and hazard labeling.

Q: When should the shelf life of nitric acid be assessed or renewed?

A: Nitric acid maintains a shelf life of 12 months if stored under recommended conditions. It should be inspected periodically for signs of decomposition, especially if exposed to light or heat, and replaced if any changes in appearance or effectiveness are detected.

Q: Where is nitric acid commonly used in industry?

A: Nitric acid is essential in manufacturing explosives, producing fertilizers, metal processing, etching metals, and as a laboratory reagent. Its high purity and reactive nature support a wide range of technical and scientific applications across multiple sectors.

Q: What benefits does high purity nitric acid offer in laboratory and industrial use?

A: High purity nitric acid ensures predictable chemical reactions, minimal contamination, and reliable results in both industrial and laboratory processes. This quality standard is crucial for analytical procedures, product consistency, and safety in sensitive applications.

Q: How is nitric acid typically packaged for commercial distribution in India?

A: Nitric acid is supplied in secure HDPE drums, glass bottles, and sometimes tanker trucks to ensure safe transport and storage. Packaging complies with domestic and international regulations for corrosive and oxidizing substances.
