Acids are used for a wide verity of different chemical assays, tests and reactions besides being used as a cleaning agent ( like sulphuric acid). Strong mineral acid especially at a high concentration are very corrosive and must be handled carefully. Chemical Solvents are hydrocarbons with different functional groups be it alkanes ( like hexane), alcoholics ( like butanol ) or aromatic compounds ( like Benzene and its derivatives).
These are useful in chemistry, pharmaceutical, manufacturing and other lab setups or industries mainly to dissolve the solutes. Most of these are highly flammable and must be stored in fire safety cabinets or its equivalent with full care. These are also hazardous to human body parts and must be handled very carefully. These chemicals include a catalogue of acids and solvent that are used in batteries, anti-freeze and wood paints amongst others. Large range of chemicals that are used as refrigerant, fumigant, adhesives, laminates, coatings, mouldings etc are also covered.
