Shipping rates may be excessive for this product due to it's low cost and heavy weight and volume. Please plan accordingly or call for a quote. Muriatic Acid is a strong, corrosive, inorganic acid (HCl), manufactured by absorbing hydrogen chloride in water. It is one of the most corrosive of acids, and is particularly destructive to cellulose, breaking the cellulose chain into even smaller units, resulting ultimately in its complete hydrolysis. It is the same chemical as Hydrochloric Acid. Uses include cleaning brick, etching concrete, cleaning metal and for swimming pool maintenance. Will attack varnish, fabrics, metals, plastics, most paints and many other materials. Can be diluted with water.

Comments about Recochem Muriatic Acid:

I am a first time user of this product. It was recommended by a plumber friend and although I was extremely apprehensive at first I am glad I used it. It solved my drain problem so far. If the drain works well in the morning---HOORAY for me.

Comments about Recochem Muriatic Acid:

I found this by chance:
A few drops down a fire ant nest, kills the nest forever. I found this to be true of all other types of ant nest that I tried. The nest is dead and does not come back!

By Straightpath1 from SouthernCalifornia on 6/25/2010

Cons:

Can burn skin severly, Gases can damage lungs, Poison gas can be made

Describe Yourself:

Professional

Comments about Recochem Muriatic Acid:

Muriatic Acid is diluted Hydrochloric Acid. Wear gloves and eye protection during use. Have good ventilation, and dont mix with other chemicals or a poison gas could be produced. Don't use in an enclosed area. Make sure if you get on your skin you wash it off thoroughly and wash the area for some time. This stuff works well, but can cause serious eye, skin, and lung damage. Be careful
