Detail
Sulfuric acid is one of the most active binary inorganic strong acids, which can react with most metals. High-concentration sulfuric acid has strong water absorption and can be used as a dehydrating agent, carbonized wood, paper, cotton and linen fabrics and biological skins and other carbohydrate-containing substances. When mixed with water, it also releases a lot of heat energy. It is highly corrosive and oxidizing, so use it with caution. It is an important industrial raw material that can be used to make fertilizers, drugs, explosives, pigments, detergents, batteries, etc. It is also widely used in industries such as oil purification, metal smelting, and dyes. Often used as a chemical reagent, it can be used as a dehydrating agent and sulfonating agent in organic synthesis.
Our sulfuric acid meets Chinese national standards, as well as European and American standards.

Sulfuric acid (alternative spelling sulphuric acid), also known as vitriol, is a mineral acid composed of the elements sulfur, oxygen and hydrogen, with molecular formula H2SO4. It is a colorless, odorless, and viscous liquid that is soluble in water and is synthesized in reactions that are highly exothermic. Its corrosiveness can be mainly ascribed to its strong acidic nature, and, if at a high concentration, its dehydrating and oxidizing properties. It is also hygroscopic, readily absorbing water vapour from the air.[5] Upon contact, sulfuric acid can cause severe chemical burns and even secondary thermal burns; it is very dangerous even at lower concentrations.
