Applications
1)Agriculture: Used to reduce alkalinity of irrigation water and soil.
Cleans drip irrigation lines, removing carbonate deposits.
Helps release bound nutrients in alkaline soils for better plant uptake.
2)Fertilizer Production: Used in manufacturing NPK fertilizers and pH control of nutrient blends. Industrial Applications: Pickling of steel and metal surface treatment. pH adjustment in water and wastewater treatment plants. Chemical intermediate in dye, pigment, and plastic industries.
3)Food & Pharmaceutical (Tech Grade): Used in controlled quantities for neutralization and purification processes.

Usage Note
1)Dilution: Always add acid to water, never the reverse, to prevent splashing and exothermic reaction.
2)Typical Agricultural Concentration: For drip cleaning: 0.1–0.2% solution
3)For pH adjustment: Add gradually until target pH (5.5–6.5) is achieved
4)Do not mix with oxidizing agents or organic materials.
5)Always use corrosion-resistant equipment (PVC, FRP, or acid-grade HDPE).
6)Store in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight and incompatible chemicals.

Safety & Handling
1)Corrosive Liquid: Handle with extreme care; avoid direct contact with skin and eyes.
2)Always wear acid-resistant gloves, apron, goggles, and face shield.
3)Work in a well-ventilated area or use local exhaust systems.
4)In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
5)Neutralize spills using lime or soda ash and dispose of safely.
6)Store away from alkalis, oxidizing agents, and metals.
