Nitric Acid

Categories:

Nitric Acid is a strong, highly corrosive mineral acid widely used in chemical manufacturing, metal processing, mining, fertilizer production, and industrial cleaning applications. It is a powerful oxidizing agent that plays a critical role in the production of nitrates, explosives, dyes, and specialty chemicals. Nitric Acid is also extensively used for metal pickling, etching, pH adjustment, and laboratory applications where high purity and consistent performance are essential.
