Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) benefits are seen in the pools we swim in, the energy we use, the cars we drive, the appliances in our homes, the medicines we take and the food we consume.

The major markets for HCl are:

• Water treatment
• Pharmaceuticals
• Oil and gas refining and extraction
• Steel processing and metal finishing
• Food industry

HCl plays a major role in keeping the water in our pools, in safe, biological balance.

High grade HCl is a key ingredient in the many pharmaceutical products that we use to regulate certain heath issues.

The ability of the oil and gas industry to extract large amounts of our natural resources is aided by the use of HCl.

The steel sector uses HCl to clean raw steel. This provides the prime sheet of steel needed for both cars and our appliances in our homes.

It is also an important ingredient for sectors of our food industry.
