hcl price per ton
A weak oil industry and an oversupply of HCl caused a sharp decline in prices last year, but both of those factors have turned around sharply this year. A recent nomination of $15 per ton in the US and C$30 per ton in Canada has raised byproduct wet acid to $55 to $75 per ton and burner acid to $75 to $95 per ton.Mr. Smith rates the average weighted price for byproduct muriatic acid at $65 per ton. Consumers have generally accepted the increase.n 1999, muriatic acid pricing collapsed from $75 per ton to $45 because wet acid demand failed to keep up with plant expansions for MDI and TDI. In addition, oil drilling declined as crude oil fell to around $9 per barrel. Spot prices for crude oil recently peaked at $38 per barrel before settling back to $32.
