What we supply
Commercial hydrochloric acid is the standard pickling acid for steel, the acidising agent for bore wells, and the pH-correction acid in a large share of Indian effluent plants. Velora supplies it at the usual 30–33% commercial strength in tankers for bulk users and 250 kg HDPE drums for dosing rooms.
It is a straightforward commodity, and the supplier's job is almost entirely logistics and paperwork: getting a corrosive Class 8 load to your gate on the promised day with the batch certificate attached. That is what we hold ourselves to.
Grades & packing
These are the formats we most commonly supply. Other grades, packing sizes and pack marking are available — ask at the enquiry stage.
| Product | Formula | Grade | HSN | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrochloric Acid | HCl | 30% – 33% commercial | 2806 10 00 | Road tanker · 250 kg HDPE drum |
No tested values are published here. The certificate of analysis for the batch actually loaded travels with the despatch documents, and a representative COA and the safety data sheet go out before any commercial discussion.
Applications
Pickling and descaling before galvanising, drawing or coating.
pH correction, and regenerating cation resin in demineralisation plants.
Acidising to open up carbonate formations and restore yield.
Making food-grade gelatine and hydrolysed protein, at the appropriate grade.
Chloride salt manufacture and pH adjustment in synthesis.
Neutralising after alkaline treatment, and pickling hides in the tanyard.
Handling & storage
Worth reading before you order rather than after. If any of this is a problem at your site, tell us — it usually changes what we would quote.
Price
HCl is largely a by-product of chlorination chemistry, so its price moves with what those plants are doing rather than with any cost build-up of its own — availability can tighten quickly when downstream units go down for maintenance. It is also cheap and heavy, so freight dominates the landed cost. Distance from the producing plant usually decides your price more than anything else, which is why we quote against a delivery point.
Questions
Above roughly 33% at ambient temperature the acid fumes off so readily that it becomes difficult to store and transport safely, and you lose strength in the tank. Commercial supply settled on 30–33% because that is the practical ceiling for bulk handling.
FRP, rubber-lined steel, HDPE or PVC, vented, and ideally scrubbed. Mild steel will fail. If you are setting up new storage, tell us what you are planning and we will flag anything that will cause trouble before you build it.
Yes. Standing call-offs are planned in advance so the tanker is scheduled rather than chased, and the price is agreed for the period with a stated validity.
Commercial hydrochloric acid is normally traded by weight, per kg or per tonne; if you buy by the litre, remember 30–33% acid is noticeably heavier than water, so convert before comparing quotes. Our written offer gives the landed price, concentration, packing and validity.
We are a bulk supplier and distributor, not a manufacturer. HCl is sourced from qualified chlor-alkali and by-product producers and supplied by tanker and drum across India.
The HSN code for hydrochloric acid (HCl) is 2806 10 00 (Hydrogen chloride (hydrochloric acid)). Source: the Indian customs tariff as listed in the GST HSN directory, checked September 2026.
Documentation
The transport classification depends on the grade and concentration quoted and is confirmed on the safety data sheet for that material before despatch.
| Document | What it covers for hydrochloric acid | When you get it |
|---|---|---|
| Product specification | Download the product specification sheet for hydrochloric acid (PDF) — CAS, formula, grade supplied against, packing, HSN and transport classification. Carries no test results and certifies no batch. | Download now |
| Safety data sheet (MSDS/SDS) | Download the 16-section GHS safety data sheet (PDF) — compiled from PubChem, the ECHA CLP inventory and ILO safety cards. The producer’s sheet for the lot supplied governs and is issued with the consignment. | Download now |
| Representative COA | A producer’s representative certificate of analysis for the grade you specify, obtained at enquiry stage so your QC can assess hydrochloric acid against your own specification | Before commercial terms |
| Batch COA | Tested values for the batch actually loaded on your vehicle | With despatch documents |
| Technical data sheet | Handling, storage and materials-of-construction guidance | On request |
| TREM card | Carried where the grade quoted is classified as a dangerous good | With the consignment |
We do not publish blank certificates to download. A certificate of analysis belongs to a batch, so a generic one tells you nothing about the material on your vehicle — and the safety data sheet is the producer’s document for the grade actually quoted. Ask and both are emailed, usually the same working day.
