Sulphuric Acid Extra Pure

Whatsapp Order

Sulphuric Acid Extra Pure is a highly concentrated, clear, oily liquid and one of the most important industrial chemicals. It is a strong mineral acid widely used in chemical synthesis, analytical laboratories, pharmaceuticals, and industrial processes including fertilizer production, metal processing, and wastewater treatment. Its high purity grade ensures reliable results in laboratory titrations and manufacturing processes. Sulphuric Acid requires careful handling due to its highly corrosive nature and vigorous reactivity with water and organic materials. Proper protective equipment and storage conditions are essential to maintain safety and product integrity.
