HYDROCHLORIC
ACID
puts corrosion to work
The corrosive properties of hydrochloric acid are actually a boon to modern industry. HC1 is widely used for treatment of oil wells to open rock formations, and for descaling of industrial heat exchange equipment. It also serves in the pickling and cleaning of metal products. Hydrochloric acid is used as an intermediate in the manufacture of ethyl chloride, essential to anti-knock fluid for gasoline. America's stake in Dow hydrochloric acid is a big one! The above barge is one of several, each about 225 thousand gallon capacity, used to transport this acid from Dow's Freeport, Texas plant up the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers to Cincinnati, Ohio. Look to Dow to satisfy your acid needs. For further information and technical assistance write us at Midland.
