Description

Nitric Acid 68% Solution – a long-standing, traditional remedy used by podiatrists & clinicians to effectively treat and eradicate (ablate) persistent skin lesions such as corns and plantar warts. A strong-acid solution with caustic, corrosive and anti-viral properties, Nitric Acid causes a gradual, controlled third-degree burn to the treated area, successfully penetrating the often tough, thicker skin barrier on the sole – an obstacle for many other mainstream topical treatments.

Compound

68% Nitric Acid Solution Nitric Acid (HN03) – a clear, colourless to slightly yellow liquid with a sharp, pungent, irritating odour Formula: HNO3 (CAS# 7697-37-2 / 63.012·mol−1) Hazard class: UN No 2031 (2021 OSHA: hazardous / corrosive) Boiling point: 120°C to 122.2°C Specific gravity: 1.37 to 1.41 Vapour pressure: 49 to 55 mmHg. at 25°C Solubility in water: miscible

Precautions

For professional / clinical use only. Wear appropriate protective clothing including gloves, coat and / or apron or coverall, safety / chemical goggles. Ensure quick-drench facilities in work area re: eye-wash. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly immediately after exposure to Nitric acid. Intended for use on the skin only – DO NOT apply on open wounds, sunburned or wind-burned, irritated or chapped skin. Important treatment considerations for those with severe allergies and history of severe reactions (anaphylaxis). Avoid excessive / over-application as may cause severe irritation and burning. Avoid contact with skin, mouth, nose, eyes and clothing – if in the event, rinse with water for 20 to 30 minutes and seek immediate medical assistance. If large quantity swallowed – administer ½ litre of lukewarm water to victim if completely conscious. Do not induce vomiting and seek immediate medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with plenty of soap and water. Wash clothing before re-using and seek medical assistance immediately. Inhalation of Nitric Acid vapour is severely irritating to the respiratory tract and mucous membranes causing nose and throat dryness; headache and nausea; coughing; production of frothy sputum; chest pain and shortness of breath. If overcome by exposure – remove the patient to fresh air and seek immediate medical assistance giving oxygen or artificial respiration as required. NITRIC Acid – HIGHLY CORROSIVE / HIGHLY FLAMMABLE / EXPLOSIVE HAZARD

Warning

Closed containers may generate internal (hydrogen) gas pressure due to corrosion with overpressure leading to possible container rupture resulting in or accelerating fire. AVOID CONTACT with strong oxidizers; various metals (especially when powdered); bases; carbides; sulphides; fulminates; picrates; chlorates; oxidizable inorganic compounds; organic chemicals; turpentine and combustible materials.

Storage & Handling

Do not store in corrodible metal. Store away from heat and moisture. Inspect frequently to identify bulging or leaking containers. Isolate / de-pressure if safe to do so. Store so fire extinguishing media can be applied to all containers from a safe distance, protected location. Dispose of waste safely – may contaminate water supplies; corrode equipment and toxic to aquatic life. Soak up small spills with inert solids using non-corrodible disposal container. Neutralise collected waste before discharge.
