Do you supply food-grade and pharma-grade acids in addition to technical grade?

Yes. Our acids portfolio covers technical, food (FCC), pharmaceutical (USP/BP/EP) and reagent (ACS) grades. Tell us the application and we will map the correct grade and documentation set, including kosher, halal and FSSC 22000 letters when required.

What is the minimum order quantity for bulk acids?

Drums and IBCs ship from one unit, with mixed pallets available across the acid catalogue. For ISO tanks and tankers (typically 16–24 MT) we recommend a forecast call to secure terminal slots, especially during fertiliser and water-treatment peak seasons.

Can you ship hazardous acids internationally?

Yes. We routinely ship UN-numbered acid classes (UN1830 sulfuric, UN1789 HCl, UN2031 nitric, UN1805 phosphoric, UN2789 acetic, UN1779 formic) under IMDG and IATA where the class allows, with full shipping declarations, UN-spec packaging and dangerous-goods notes prepared in-house.

How fresh are stocked acids and what is their shelf life?

Inorganic mineral acids are effectively indefinite when stored sealed; organic acids (formic, acetic, citric) carry 24-month shelf lives in unopened OEM packaging. Each release shows the manufacturing date and expiry on the CoA.

Acids from American Industrial Chemicals Inc

American Industrial Chemicals Inc supplies industrial-grade mineral and organic acids to manufacturers across the United States and 60+ export markets. Our acid portfolio anchors process chemistry in fertiliser production, metal pickling, water treatment, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, electronics, leather and textiles. Every shipment leaves with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis, an up-to-date 16-section GHS Safety Data Sheet, and IMDG/DOT-compliant labelling — so plant QC, EHS and customs clearance teams have everything they need before the truck arrives.

Sulfuric acid (93–98%), hydrochloric acid (32–36%), nitric acid (60–68%), phosphoric acid (75–85%), citric acid (anhydrous and monohydrate), acetic acid (glacial 99.85%) and formic acid (85% / 99%) are stocked at strategic terminals so that lead times stay short even on peak-season demand. Larger formulators run scheduled monthly drum or ISO-tank pulls; smaller operations buy by the carboy or pail without a long-term commitment.

Because acid purity directly impacts downstream yield — whether you are pickling stainless coils, regenerating ion-exchange resins, or producing food-grade phosphates — we publish typical assay, heavy-metals, chlorides and sulfates targets up-front and verify them per lot on calibrated, GLP-aligned instruments.
