Muriatic acid. Now, this I am familiar with. It's other name is
hydrochloric acid. It's a strong acid. Your stomach actually makes this to
dissolve your eaten food having a pH of about 1 (on a scale of 0-14 where
the lower the number the stronger the acid). I can't remember how strong  a
solution of muriatic acid a consumer can buy, but a science teacher could
get 12.1 M HCl. This strength will burn one's nose hairs just removing the
cap to the bottle. Yes, muriatic acid used in metal processing. It's one
used to prepare the metal before enameling for appliances; at least it was
at one time. I had a metallurgist professor state that stainless steel
appliances should be cheaper to purchase than painted. Yes, stainless in
raw state is more expensive but when one considered all the processes and
labor to go from say a white enamel washing machine should mean that would
be higher in cost. Economics!
