Sulfuric Acid 30%

Product Overview

Alliance Chemical offers Sulfuric Acid 30% as a high-quality liquid solution tailored for precise industrial workflows. This chemical formulation, designated by CAS number 7664-93-9 and molecular formula H2O4S — molecular weight 98.08, serves as a cornerstone reagent in numerous manufacturing environments. Known as a colorless, oily liquid, sulfuric acid is highly soluble in water and releases significant heat upon dilution. It is highly corrosive to both metals and organic tissue, making it a critical chemical that must be handled with the utmost professional care and attention.

Our Sulfuric Acid 30% is processed to maintain a stable, uniform concentration, serving as an essential chemical intermediate across diverse sectors. It will char wood and other organic matter upon direct contact but is inherently non-flammable. Alliance Chemical distributes this solution to support regional manufacturing, chemical synthesis, and industrial processing requirements. Every batch of our industrial sulfuric acid is thoroughly tested, and a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available upon request to verify the exact chemical parameters of your shipment.

Why This Grade

Choosing Sulfuric Acid 30% concentration is critical for applications requiring intermediate acidity without the extreme, violent exothermic reactivity associated with highly concentrated 98% sulfuric acid. This specific 30% concentration represents an optimal dilution level for battery manufacturing, pH neutralization, and mild surface treatments, where precise concentration control prevents rapid material degradation. Utilizing the incorrect concentration can lead to severe process failure modes — such as excessive heat generation, metal pitting during etching, or dangerous boiling of the solution during mixing operations.

If a process specifies a 30% concentration, attempting to dilute a highly concentrated variant on-site can introduce dangerous safety hazards and variance in batch consistency. Selecting this pre-formulated 30% liquid solution minimizes on-site dilution errors, reduces exposure risks for operators, and ensures absolute consistency in chemical reaction rates. This makes our Sulfuric Acid 30% the standard choice for facilities seeking reliable process control, minimized operational downtime, and strict adherence to technical process parameters.

Industrial Applications

• Lead-acid battery manufacturing and electrolyte replenishment, where consistent sulfuric acid ensures optimal charge transport and longevity.
• Industrial wastewater treatment systems, where it acts as a highly effective pH adjuster to neutralize alkaline effluents prior to environmental discharge.
• Metal pickling and surface preparation, removing oxides, scale, and impurities from steel and iron before subsequent plating or coating processes.
• Chemical manufacturing and synthesis, serving as a catalyst and reagent in the production of various sulfate compounds and industrial esters.
• Textile processing and dye applications, where the acid acts as an essential pH regulator to ensure proper dye binding to fibers.

Hazmat & Shipping

Sulfuric Acid 30% is classified as a fully regulated hazardous material. For transportation, it is designated as UN2796, Hazard Class 8, Packing Group II. The proper shipping name is "Sulfuric acid, with not more than 51 percent acid". The assigned signal word under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) is Danger. This product does not contain subsidiary hazard classes. We ship this product in strict compliance with all DOT regulations using certified hazmat carriers to ensure safe transit to your facility.

Due to the severe hazard statement H314 (Causes severe skin burns and eye damage), personnel must wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). This includes chemical-resistant gloves, a full face shield, protective clothing, and boots, adhering strictly to precautionary statements including P260, P264, and P280. If contact occurs, follow emergency protocols including P301+P330+P331, P302+P361+P354, and P305+P354+P338 immediately. A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is provided with every order to ensure your facility maintains complete regulatory compliance and safe handling protocols.

Handling & Storage

Store Sulfuric Acid 30% in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, ideally between 50°F and 85°F to prevent freezing or excessive thermal stress. Ensure container compatibility by utilizing only high-density polyethylene (HDPE), fluoropolymer, or lined steel containers, as this solution is highly corrosive to unlined metals. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use and store away from incompatible materials, particularly strong bases, organic materials, carbides, chlorates, and active metals. Always add acid to water, never water to acid, to prevent dangerous splashing and heat generation.
