Q1: What is the CAS Number for Electronic Grade Hydrochloric Acid?
A: The CAS Registry Number is 7647-01-0.
Q2: How should this product be handled to minimize extractables during transfer into tool reservoirs?
A: Use only Class 10-certified PFA or high-purity quartz transfer lines; avoid stainless steel contact; pre-wet all fluid paths with ≥2 L of product before process use to reduce system leachables.
Q3: Does this grade meet SEMI C36 (2022) specifications for electronic grade hydrochloric acid?
A: Yes — fully compliant with SEMI C36-1122 for metallic impurities, anions, particles, and packaging integrity requirements.
Q4: Can it be diluted with UPW without compromising purity?
A: Yes — when diluted using ≥18.2 MΩ·cm UPW meeting SEMI F63 standards, dilution does not introduce measurable contamination; however, dilution must occur in a cleanroom environment (ISO Class 5 or better) to prevent particle ingress.
