Safety and Compliance

Nitric acid is highly corrosive and a strong oxidiser. It causes severe burns and releases toxic fumes, and must be kept away from organic materials, metals and reducing agents. Use full protective equipment and follow the SDS supplied with each shipment.

Nitric acid is a regulated chemical in many countries. We supply to registered businesses only and may ask for company registration and end-use details before confirming an order.
