NOTE:
The terms strong acid and weak acid don’t refer
to how much harm these acids could cause should the user
come in contact (bodily) with the different acids.
USES FOR ACIDS
Hydrofluoric
Acid – Used for cleaning
iron and steel castings, in the refining of certain metals,
for etching
glass and for cleaning mineral sands. It is widely used as
an aluminum cleaner and brightener and can beused to remove
rust stains from fabric in commercial laundries.
Sulfuric
Acid – The major use of sulfuric acid in
the production of fertilizers. It is widely used in the manufacture
of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, dyes, explosives and drugs.
It is used in processing metals – in cleaning
of iron and steel before plating.
Citric
Acid – Citric Acid is the mostly
widely organic acidulate. Used for flavor, metal chelation,
pH adjustment,
replacement for corrosive acids and textile finishing.
Phosphoric
Acid – Phosphoric Acid is
used while performing certain jobs; catalyst in making
ethylene, purification of
hydrogen peroxide, rust proofing metals before painting and
coagulating rubber latex. Also, this acid is used to make
detergents, dental cements, flavoring syrups, soft drinks
and fertilizers.
Below
are Acids from Meyer:
AB-327
Hydrofluoric Acid - Sulfuric Acid and Surfactants
More surfactants than AB-329. AB-327 is used to brighten
and clean aluminum, and steel surfaces. Don’t use
on brick masonry, marble, granite, sandstone, terra cotta,
exposed aggregate, stone buildings, glass, concrete or
limestone unless etching is desired. The sulfuric acid
in this product is used to create acid value and little
else. AB-327 will foam more than AB-329. AB-327 is a safe
truck wash, cleans all metals to their fullest and removes
road tar and diesel exhaust.
AB-329
Hydrofluoric Acid - Sulfuric Acid and Surfactants
Less surfactants than AB-327. AB-329 is used to brighten
and clean aluminum, and steel surfaces. Don’t use
on brick masonry, marble, granite, sandstone, terra cotta,
exposed aggregate, stone buildings, glass, concrete or
limestone unless etching is desired. The sulfuric acid
in this product is used to create acid value and little
else. AB-329 will foam less than AB-327.
AC-350
Hydrofluoric Acid - Phosphoric Acid and Surfactants
AC-350 has more cleaning capabilities and therefore is more
of a detergent that AB-327 and AB-329. The phosphoric acid
in AC-350 is what really sets it apart from the AB-327
and AB-329. AC-350 can be used on aluminum as well as stainless
steel. Don’t use on brick masonry, marble, granite,
sandstone, terra cotta, exposed aggregate, stone buildings,
glass, concrete or limestone unless etching is desired.
AC-TO
Citric Acid - Sulfuric Acid and Surfactants
This product was designed for a potato chip and pork rind
plant. It was used to clean the carbonized black that had
built up on the grease vats. Extreme caution must be used
with the application of this product. The citric acid in
AC-TO gives this product good cleaning capabilities. It
should be treated as an acid detergent rather than an acid
brightener.
AC-101
Phosphoric Acid and Surfactants
Highly concentrated cleaner formulated to remove mineral
deposits, scale and milk stone from food processing equipment.
The phosphoric acid in this product gives it good cleaning
capabilities – low foam, free rinsing, USDA approved
and leaves stainless bright and shiny.
Delime
Phosphoric Acid and Surfactants
Professional strength cleaner and descaler that is specially
designed to remove heavy lime and scale deposits without
the damaging effect of stronger acids – low foam,
no odors or fumes, corrosion inhibitors and free rinsing.
