Product information
Nitric acid is a strong mineral acid and oxidizing chemical used as an industrial reagent and synthesis feedstock. Commercial nitric acid is commonly supplied as aqueous solutions, while higher-concentration grades can produce visible fumes and require more stringent controls.
Applications include nitrate manufacture, metal treatment and chemical synthesis. The supplied inventory states “68% / 100% fuming,” but these descriptions should not be treated as one standard grade. Hamara should confirm the actual concentrations and whether a concentrated or fuming grade is offered before product specifications are published.

General guidance
Handling and storage
Nitric acid SDSs identify strong corrosive and oxidizing hazards. Handle with acid-resistant eye, face and skin protection under effective ventilation and keep away from combustible, reducing and incompatible materials. Store in compatible, tightly closed containers under the temperature and segregation requirements of the specific concentration's SDS. This summary does not replace that SDS.
