Can hydrochloric acid travel with caustic soda, nitric acid or hypochlorite?
Yes, on the same truck, but never in contact. Hydrochloric acid and sodium hypochlorite release chlorine gas if they mix, hydrochloric and nitric acid together release chlorine and nitrosyl chloride, and acid meeting caustic soda reacts violently and gives off heat. On a mixed load each product stays in its own sealed UN container, stowed and segregated as its Safety Data Sheet requires, and the same rule applies in your store: separate bunds or containment, never a shared drain, pump or transfer hose. Keep hydrochloric acid in polyethylene, PVC, FRP or rubber-lined equipment, because it attacks mild and stainless steel and releases hydrogen.
What documents come with every consignment?
Each consignment carries a Certificate of Analysis, a GHS Safety Data Sheet in English and Arabic, an HS-coded commercial invoice and a GCC Certificate of Origin, and we support the conformity documentation your importer files. Tell us the end use and the consignee details when you enquire.
