| Catalogue Number | |
| Synonyms | Hydrogen sulfate, 231-639-5, cas 7664-93-9 |
| Overview | Sulfuric acid (95–97%) is a dense, oily, colorless to slightly yellow liquid with no significant odor. It is a strong mineral acid, highly corrosive, and extremely hygroscopic (absorbs water readily). This concentrated form is used in a vast range of industrial processes, from chemical manufacturing to petroleum refining. It reacts violently with water and organic materials, releasing heat. |
Product Information
Sulfuric acid (95–97%) is a highly corrosive, dense mineral acid used extensively in industry, laboratories, and manufacturing. It is strongly exothermic when mixed with water and causes severe chemical burns. Proper handling requires full PPE, ventilation, and caution.
