Nitric acid 68%

All Chemical’s Nitric Acid 68% is a highly corrosive mineral acid with the chemical formula HNO₃. The pure compound is colourless, while older solutions develop a distinct yellow cast due to nitrous decomposition. It serves critical roles globally as a heavy-industrial fertiliser precursor, rocket propellant oxidiser, explosive base, and key raw material for nylon production.

This powerful inorganic chemical provides essential functionality across modern production and processing applications:

• Primary Fertiliser Precursor: Serves as the central building block for manufacturing high-utility commercial agricultural fertilisers internationally.
• Advanced Organic Synthesis: Crucial for industrial synthesis pathways generating specialised explosives, polymers, nylon precursors, and organic compounds.
• Flexible Packaging Range: Fully stocked in versatile sizes from 1L, 2L, and 5L bottles up to 1000L IBCs.

Because of its extreme chemical activity, strict handling protocols must be enforced during warehouse management:

• Manage Severe Corrosiveness: Handle with extreme care, as this strong mineral acid aggressively attacks tissue and metals.
• Equip Regulatory PPE: Always wear tight safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, and full face shields from our safety selection catalogue.
• Ventilate and Store Securely: Keep in tightly sealed containers, away from direct light, to prevent decomposition of brown nitrogen oxide gas.
