Nitric acid is a powerful, highly-reactive acid with a sharp, acrid odour.
Its strong acidity, oxidative power and nitrating ability gives it key applications across agriculture, metal treatment and processing, chemical synthesis, scientific research and more.
• Nitrate-based fertiliser production (ammonium nitrate, calcium nitrate)
• Soil pH adjustment
• Washing salad crops
• Electronics manufacture (etching circuit boards)
• Explosives and propellants production (nitroglycerin, RDX)
• Steel processing (etching, cleaning and purification)
• Chemical synthesis (dyes, nylon precursors)
• Sample digestion, chemical analysis and research
• Corrosion inhibition
• Disinfection, cleaning and descaling
• Oxidising soluble metal ions
• pH control and alkalinity adjustment
Our Functional division is a leading supplier and distributor of nitric acid, in addition to over 200 other chemical solutions for wide-ranging industrial applications, covering water treatment, oil and gas, agrochemicals, I&I cleaning and more.
