Nitric Acid 10-68%

HNO₃

Nitric Acid is a highly corrosive, colourless liquid that may emit yellow or red fumes with a sharp, acrid odor. Commercially available in concentrations ranging from 10% to 68%, it is a powerful oxidizing and nitrating agent widely used across industries. Beyond its primary role in fertilizer production, Nitric Acid is essential in the manufacture of pigments, dyes, explosives, and pharmaceuticals, as well as in metal cleaning, pickling, and etching processes. Its versatility and reactivity make it a critical raw material for modern chemical manufacturing
