Nitric Acid is a commonly used fluid in the production of flammable/explosive items such as TATB, solid rocket fuel, and nitroglycerin. It is also heavily used in the electrolysis of various crystals and the cleaning/processing of bedrock ore. Nitric acid is a strongly corrosive liquid.

Trivia
- In the NTM: Space fork of the mod, production of nitric acid is quite different, using ammonia and water to produce the fluid in the chemical plant.
