Technical Description & Product Overview
Nitric Acid 68% (HNO₃) is a high-purity, concentrated mineral acid supplied at approximately 68% w/w and is valued for its strong acidity and oxidizing properties. Food-grade material is intended for controlled applications within food-processing environments, particularly equipment and process-system cleaning, descaling, and stainless-steel surface treatment/passivation, where appropriate procedures and regulatory requirements are met. It is a clear to slightly yellow liquid, fully miscible with water, with a typical density of approximately 1.4 g/cm³ at 20°C. CAS No.: 7697-37-2 | Formula: HNO₃ | UN No.: 2031. As a highly corrosive and oxidizing substance, it requires compatible chemical-resistant storage, appropriate PPE, and strict adherence to the product SDS.
