Celeritas Chemicals Announces New Supply Availability of Hydrochloric Acid

Celeritas Chemicals, a specialty chemicals supplier based in Southlake, TX announces new supply availability of Hydrochloric Acid

November 22, 2011 Southlake, TX. The ongoing restructuring and downsizing of the U.S. chemical industry has reduced the number of sources of important industrial raw materials. Many industrial chemicals that were previously available in the U.S. from multiple domestic sources are now only available from a limited number of sources, in many cases from outside the US.

One of those chemicals, Hydrochloric Acid (HCl), is currently in short supply. This is a result of the economic slump, which is causing a reduction in chlorination processes in the chemical sector that produce HCl as a by-product.

Traditional fracking fluids rely of hydrochloric acid, which allows the industry to crack shale rock. Therefore this shortage could have a significant impact in the production of natural gas. HCl is also used for a number of processes within the pharmaceutical sector

Some industry groups such as Rx-360 are advising companies to contact their HCl suppliers to verify their ability to supply the chemical and examine the supply chain for vulnerabilities that could cause supply interruptions and product authentication concerns.

Celeritas Chemicals of Southlake, TX is a company that specializes in providing assistance to companies affected by these changes, by providing them with alternative sources of raw materials and helping companies realize significant cost savings or solve quality problems.

The 16-20% concentration grade can be supplied up to 10 tank trucks a day on a first come, first served basis. 2 Million lbs. /month of 36% concentration grade are available packaged in drums.
