STORAGE OF MURIATIC ACID |
|
If you plan to use Muriatic
acid for cleaning corroded parts, make sure that when storing, you cap
it tightly & store it away from anything metal that you care about. The
vapor pressure of this liquid is such that it will release acid to the
atmosphere easily. It will then act as a catalyst, speeding the rusting
of any unpainted iron or steel in the area. Such items as drill chucks
and bits, garden tools, stored fasteners, & hand tool all soon grow a
fuzzy coating of ugly red ferrous oxide. |
