III. Uses
Include tanning, dyeing, foodstuff, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, metallurgical, and other industries.
IV. Packaging
Tankers or storage tanks made specifically for industrial synthetic hydrochloric acid with a sealed cover are needed for packaging. Outer packaging should contain clearly visible product information and a mark that indicates it is "Corrosive".
V. Storage and transport
Tank train cars and tank trucks can be used for transporting the products, and collisions, leakage, or mixing with alkalis are to be avoided no matter what.
