Chemicals

Nitric Acid

Handling Nitric Acid:
Wear safety glasses when handling nitric acid.
Use gloves: butyl rubber, neoprene, or polyethylene are suitable for handling concentrations up to 70%

Diluting Nitric Acid:
"When diluting, the acid should always be added slowly to water and in small amounts. Never use hot water and never add water to the acid. Water added to acid can cause uncontrolled boiling and splashing. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product."
