HYDROCHLORIC ACID, 3 MOLAR TO 158°F Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Hydrochloric acid, 3 molar, is a moderately concentrated solution of HCl used in various chemical processes and laboratory applications. At 3 molar concentration, it is effective for pH adjustment, cleaning, and synthesis without being as hazardous as more concentrated solutions. However, it still poses risks, including skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. When heated to 158°F, its reactivity increases, requiring careful handling to avoid splashes and inhalation of fumes. Proper safety measures, such as using personal protective equipment and ensuring good ventilation, are essential to minimize health risks and ensure safe usage.
