Muriatic Acid
Muriatic Acid is a strong, corrosive, inorganic acid (HCl), manufactured by absorbing hydrogen chloride in water. It is one of the most corrosive of acids, and is particularly destructive to cellulose, breaking the cellulose chain into even smaller units, resulting ultimately in its complete hydrolysis. It is the same chemical as Hydrochloric Acid.
Uses include etching concrete, cleaning metal and for swimming pool maintenance. Will attack varnish, fabrics, metals, plastics, most paints and many other materials. Can be diluted with water.
Directions for working with Muriatic Acid:
- Wear protective clothing, rubber gloves and plastic safety glasses while using.
To etch or clean concrete and masonry or metal:
- Dilute to desired strength by adding acid carefully to water, avoid splashing.
- Start with a highly diluted mixture and strengthen gradually (1 part acid to 20 parts water).
- Apply solution. Bubbling indicates solution is strong enough.
- Flush thoroughly with clean water and immediately after cleaning or etching is complete.
