Overview
Sulphuric acid is the most widely used industrial chemical in the world, and for good reason. It is a powerful acid, dehydrating agent and oxidiser used in fertiliser production, metal processing, batteries and countless chemical reactions.
We supply 98% concentrated acid in acid-resistant carboys, IBCs and bulk road tankers. Deliveries are made by drivers trained in hazardous goods, and we can dilute to lower concentrations on request.
Handling note
Concentrated sulphuric acid reacts violently with water and causes severe burns. Always add acid slowly to water, never the reverse, and wear acid-resistant gloves, goggles and a face shield.
