Acids and Solvents

Acids are used for a wide variety of different chemical assays, tests, and reactions besides being used as a cleaning agent (like Sulfuric 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 (eye and skin etc.) and must be handled very carefully.
