Acid chemicals Australia

Industrial-grade acids for descaling, cleaning, etching and pH adjustment, supplied manufacturer-direct from Australian suppliers with full ADG-compliant freight. The range covers the common mineral and organic acids used across concrete, manufacturing, water-treatment and food-processing duties - from concrete and mortar removal to stainless-steel passivation, heat-exchanger descaling and process-water pH control. Most industrial acids are dangerous goods (DG Class 8) and ship under ADG-compliant freight, with standard pack sizes from 5 L through to 200 L drums and 1,000 L IBCs. Each product page lists the classification, UN number where applicable, packaging group and SDS so you can arrange freight and storage correctly.

FAQs

How are acids shipped within Australia?

Industrial acids are dangerous goods (DG) and ship through approved ADG Code-compliant carriers. Standard pack sizes are 5 L, 20 L, 200 L drum, and 1,000 L IBC. Some grades have state-specific transport restrictions, flagged on each product page.

Do you carry food-grade acids?

Some acids are available in food / pharma grade through our Custom Orders process. Submit a request via /custom-orders with your required spec.

What pack sizes are available?

Standard sizes are 5 L, 20 L, 200 L drum and 1,000 L IBC, with bulk and tanker volumes quoted through Custom Orders for high-volume dosing.

Where do I check the hazard class and handling?

Each product page lists the DG class, UN number and packaging group, and the SDS (Sections 7, 8 and 14) covers handling, PPE and transport classification before you ship or store the product.

Should I use an acid or an acid replacement for concrete cleaning?

For routine concrete and mortar removal, many plants now use a buffered acid replacement instead of hydrochloric acid - the same performance on everyday cleaning with less fume and often non-DG freight. See the acid-replacement category and our buyer guide for the full comparison.
