  • Chemical Profile

Product Overview

Drain Hammer is a highly concentrated Sulfuric Acid solution (Technical Grade) formulated for aggressive industrial drain cleaning and sanitation systems. With a typical assay of 96.5% wt H₂SO₄, this product delivers exceptional acidity to rapidly dissolve organic matter, paper, rags, and grease in plumbing lines. Also known chemically as Oil of Vitriol or Battery Acid, this solution is a staple in industrial maintenance.

Designed for professional use, Drain Hammer features a high specific gravity (~1.84 g/mL). This density allows the liquid to sink through standing water to reach the blockage point immediately, reducing dwell time compared to lighter solvents. Beyond drain maintenance, this Technical Grade Sulfuric Acid is suitable for pH adjustment in wastewater treatment, metal processing, and chemical synthesis where a strong oxidizing agent is required.

Key Properties

  • Concentration: 93–98% (Typical 96.5%) H₂SO₄
  • Grade: Technical Grade
  • Chemical Formula: H₂SO₄
  • CAS Number: 7664-93-9
  • Appearance: Clear, colorless to slightly yellow liquid
  • Density: 1.84 g/mL at 25°C (High Density)
  • Boiling Point: 338°C
  • Solubility: Miscible with water (exothermic reaction)
  • Molecular Weight: 98.08 g/mol

Common Applications

  • Industrial Drain Cleaning: Rapidly dissolves organic clogs, cellulose, and sanitary deposits in commercial plumbing systems.
  • pH Control: Used for neutralization and pH adjustment in wastewater treatment facilities.
  • Metal Processing: effective for pickling, scale removal, and surface preparation of metals.
  • Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a dehydrating agent and reactant in various industrial chemical processes.
  • Process Manufacturing: Utilized in manufacturing workflows requiring strict corrosive media control.

Safety Precautions

DANGER: Sulfuric Acid is extremely corrosive. Drain Hammer must be handled with strict chemical hygiene practices.

  • PPE Requirements: Always wear chemical splash goggles, face shield, acid-resistant gloves, and protective apron/suit.
  • Handling: Never add water to acid; always add acid to water slowly to prevent violent exothermic reactions. Use in well-ventilated areas.
  • Storage: Store in cool, dry areas away from combustibles, reducing agents, and bases. Keep in original chemical-resistant containers.

Transport is classified as UN 1830, Sulfuric Acid, Class 8, PG II. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive emergency and first aid procedures.

Benefits

Professional Strength – 93%+ concentration ensures rapid clearing of heavy industrial clogs.
Versatile Utility – Suitable for both maintenance (drain cleaning) and process applications (pH control).
Bulk Availability – Sold in sizes ranging from 1 Quart bottles to 330 Gallon totes to suit facility needs.
