Anhydrous Hydrogen Chloride (AHCl) is a colorless gas that plays an important role in various technologies and pharmaceutical/chemical industries. The majority of Anhydrous Hydrogen Chloride is used to produce hydrochloric acid, a solution of AHCl in water. Concentrations range from less than 1% up to 38%. The latter is referred to as “concentrated” or “fuming” hydrochloric acid.

Besides the use in hydrochloric acid, AHCl is also an important reagent used in chemical transformations, e.g.:
- Hydrochlorination of rubber
- Production of vinyl and alkyl chlorides
- Production of pharmaceutical products
- In the semiconductor industry, it is used to both etch semiconductor crystals and to purify silicon via trichlorosilane (SiHCl3).
- Cotton treatment to delint it, and to separate it from wool.
- Organic synthesis, e.g. generation of chloride-based Lewis acids which must be absolutely dry to keep their reactivity.
- Etc.
