The compound hydrogen chloride has the chemical formula HCl and as such is a hydrogen halide. At room temperature, it is a colourless gas, which forms white fumes of hydrochloric acid upon contact with atmospheric water vapor. Hydrogen chloride gas and hydrochloric acid are important in technology and industry. Hydrochloric acid, the aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride, is also commonly given the formula HCl.
Hydrogen Chloride (or HCL gas), is a toxic gas which is important in the semiconductor industry. HCL has many other uses; for instance, it's used to produce certain chemicals, metals, petroleum, textiles, and even some food products such as gelatin, soy sauce, and vegetable protein. At room temperature, it's a colorless gas with a rather pungent smell. When dissolved in water, it is one of the strongest known and toxic acids. And, when it reacts to common metals it yields hydrogen, which can be explosive when it comes in contact with air.
HCL is just one of several harsh gases and acids that are processed daily in many manufacturing facilities around the world. Others include ammonia, chlorine, hydrogen bromide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen trifluoride, phosphorous, and silicon tetrachloride. The one thing these harsh chemicals all have in common is that they require strong safety processes and procedures in order to handle and process. Here are the tools you need for mixing, storing, transferring, and preparing these types of hazardous chemicals.

Packaged hydrogen chloride (HCl) is used in a range of industries and applications including:
Chemicals: To promote and regenerate catalysts in the petrochemical industry and to add viscosity to oils.
Also used for hydrochlorinations, e.g. production of methyl chloride, oxichlorinations and vinyl chloride.
Hydrogen chloride is also used to produce sulfuric chlorohydrins, synthetic rubbers, etc.
Electronics: High purity gas is widely used in the electronics industry. It is a chlorine carrier produced by high temperature cracking.
Applications: scouring furnaces (quartz chambers), dissolved in water as an aqueous cleaning agent to prepare metal surfaces for electro plating, selective etching of windows in electronic microcircuits and carrier for non-volatile elements in the form of gaseous chloride.
Food & Beverages: To remove the remaining fibres from cotton seeds after the cotton wool has been separated and before the seed is stored for re-sowing next season and also to separate cotton from wood.
Steel & Metals: Used in the production of hard metal.
Pharma & Biotechnology: Used in pharmaceutical synthesis.
1.Electronic grade usage: It is mainly used for gas phase polishing, epitaxial base corrosion and carbide manufacturing of single crystal silicon in semiconductor device production.
2.Chemical grade usage: Pharmaceutical intermediates, food and feed additives, chemical reagents and film developers and other fine chemicals manufacturing industry.
3.Industrial grade usage: Synthesis of pesticide intermediates, feed additives, chemical reagents and other fine chemicals
