About Sulfuric Acid 98% Industrial Grade

Sulfuric Acid 98% Industrial Grade is a dense, oily liquid essential for numerous industrial operations. It serves as a critical reagent in fertilizer manufacturing, mineral processing, and chemical synthesis. Due to its highly corrosive nature, storage and handling require specialized equipment and strict safety protocols. Finstar Chemicals supplies this acid primarily in drums but can accommodate bulk orders for larger industrial applications. This grade ensures performance in pH adjustment, catalyst regeneration, and metal pickling with consistent concentration. Shipping and storage conditions are optimized to mitigate decomposition and prevent contact with incompatible materials such as organic compounds, bases, and moisture. Procurement teams value the steady availability, compliance with transport regulations, and certification documents provided by Finstar, safeguarding manufacturing continuity in the region.
