Sulfuric acid 36-38%
Sulfuric acid, formerly known as vitriol, is a chemical product with the formula H?SO?. This mineral acid is miscible with water in all proportions. It appears as a viscous, colorless, and odorless liquid. It is derived from the hydration of sulfur trioxide, which itself comes from the natural oxidation of sulfur dioxide. It is used in many industries. We offer it in two dilutions, one at a concentration of 36-38% and the other highly concentrated: a 98% sulfuric acid.
MAIN FUNCTIONS
Sulfuric acid is used mainly for descaling, pH regulation, pickling and stripping, derusting metal parts, and as a battery electrolyte.
INDUSTRIAL USE
- Food and beverage industry: sulfonation and dehydration agent, fertilizer manufacture
- Textile industry: bleaching of textiles
- Petroleum industry: oil refining
- Steel industry: metal pickling agent (consult our full range of paint strippers).
- Component of lead-acid batteries
- Chemical industry: use in laboratories as a catalyst, and as a raw material for the production of ammonium sulfate and phosphoric acid.
PROFESSIONAL USE
- Jewelry: pickling of precious metals
- Swimming pool pH regulator (see our range of pool products)
- Descaler (discover all our industrial descalers).
OTHER COMMON USES
Powerful drain unblocker for pipes
USAGE TIPS
Hazardous substance, follow safety guidelines.
When using hydrochloric acid in solution on ferrous metals and steels, we recommend using the anticorrosion additive AC PROTECT 106 to limit attack on sound metal. Consult our full range of anti-rust products.
The purchase, possession, or use of these products by the general public is subject to restrictions. We are required to maintain a sales register with a declaration of use.
As of February 1, 2021, the new regulation (EU) 2019/1148 concerning possible explosive precursors, which restricts the sale of sulfuric acid to the general public, will enter into force and will be applied throughout the entire European territory.
