Overview

Product information

Sulfuric acid is a strong inorganic mineral acid and one of the principal bulk chemicals used in industrial processing. Concentrated material is a dense liquid that mixes with water with substantial heat release and is strongly corrosive.

Established uses include fertilizer and chemical manufacture, petroleum refining, metal processing and other acid-driven production steps. Concentration materially affects physical properties and handling requirements. Hamara’s supplied inventory references 98% technical material, but the final commercial specification should be confirmed before that concentration or grade is published.

General guidance

Handling and storage

SDS guidance for concentrated sulfuric acid calls for corrosion-resistant protective equipment, effective control of splashes or mist, and storage in tightly closed compatible containers away from incompatible substances. Contact with water can release considerable heat, so dilution requires controlled procedures. Exact storage and handling instructions must follow the current product SDS.

Applications
