Muriatic acid is an aqueous hydrogen chloride solution and is considered strong and highly corrosive.
  • Where is muriatic acid produced?
  • Muriatic acid is also produced in North America by other suppliers as a “byproduct” of other chemical processes. Byproduct acid can have higher levels of impurities, and availability can vary depending on the inherent parent production process.
  • What industries use muriatic acid?
  • Steel and Metals Producers - The steel and metal industry use muriatic acid for pickling steel to remove mill scale (or surface oxides). Most steel is also cleaned, or fluxed, in acid before galvanizing, tinning, and other coating applications. Petroleum and Natural Gas - The oil and gas industry uses muriatic acid to acidize oil and gas wells.
  • What is muriatic acid used for?
  • The most common uses of muriatic acid are in food processing, oil and gas well acidizing, chemical production, and steel pickling. Westlake’s burner-grade muriatic acid makes it ideal for use where consistency and purity are key to the final product. With all downstream applications, appropriate registrations and/or approvals may be required.
