Acids Applications

Hydrochloric, Sulphuric and Ferric Chloride Acid — essential across fertilizer production, metal processing, water treatment, and chemical manufacturing.

Applications by Acid Type

Each acid serves distinct industrial functions. Below are the key applications for each of Rawchem's three acid products.

RawHCL

Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)

Commonly used for the neutralisation of alkaline agents and as a bleaching agent. It is neutralised if released into the soil and rapidly hydrolyses when exposed to water.

  • Food, textile, metal and rubber industries
  • Production of chlorides, fertilizers and dyes
  • Electroplating and metal surface treatment
  • pH control and neutralisation processes
  • Steel pickling and descaling
RawSUL

Sulphuric Acid (H₂SO₄)

The major use of sulphuric acid is in the production of fertilizers, e.g. superphosphate of lime and ammonium sulphate. It is widely used in the manufacture of numerous chemicals and industrial products.

  • Hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and sulphate salts
  • Synthetic detergents, dyes, pigments and explosives
  • Glass, paper, soaps and textiles
  • Fungicides, insecticides, astringents and emetics
  • Mining, wood-pulp, metal and plating industries
  • Sewage treatment and leather processing
RawFER

Ferric Chloride (FeCl₃)

Ferric Chloride is used as a flocculant in sewage treatment and drinking water production. Anhydrous iron (III) chloride is a strong Lewis acid used as a catalyst in organic synthesis.

  • Sewage treatment and drinking water production
  • Catalyst in organic synthesis
  • Manufacture of pigments
  • Plating agents and surface treating agents
  • Process regulators and solids separation agents
  • PCB etching in electronics manufacturing
