Nitric Acid AR 55 % 2.5L

Nitric Acid 55% AR (Analytical Reagent) in a 2.5L volume is a high-purity, corrosive mineral acid primarily used in laboratories for chemical analysis, sample digestion, and trace metal testing.

It also serves as a potent oxidising agent for synthesising compounds and cleaning delicate laboratory glassware.
Core Laboratory UsesSample Preparation: Used to digest and dissolve organic and inorganic matrices before trace analysis (e.g., ICP-OES, AAS, and spectroscopy).
Titrations & Reactions: Serves as a precise analytical reagent for volumetric titrations.
Glassware Cleaning: Highly effective at removing stubborn inorganic deposits, metallic scales, and contaminants from lab equipment.

General Industrial & Chemical Applications
Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a strong oxidising agent in the production of dyes, pigments, and various pharmaceuticals.
Metal Treatment: Used for pickling stainless steel and etching metals to remove impurities and prepare surfaces.Precursor Production: Used to manufacture metal nitrates and, at higher concentrations, nitrogen-based compounds.Safety & HandlingBecause it is a highly concentrated and hazardous chemical, this grade requires strict safety protocols:Personal Protection: Wear full chemical-resistant suits, gloves, and a full-face respirator with ABEK-type cartridges to avoid toxic fume inhalation and severe skin burns.Dilution Rule: Always add nitric acid slowly to waternever add water directly to the acid, as this can cause violent splattering or boiling.Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from combustible materials, reducing agents, and heat sources.

  • Nitric Acid AR 55 % 2.5L

Also known as aqua fortis and spirit of niter, is a highly corrosive mineral acid.

The pure compound is colorless, but older samples tend to acquire a yellow cast due to decomposition into oxides of nitrogen and water.

Nitric acid is used in the production of ammonium nitrate for fertilizers, making plastics, and in the manufacture of dyes.

Its laboratory grade is used for analytical purpose in the lab.
