About this product

Product information from the supplier.

Product Overview


Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄) is a dense, high-strength mineral acid with strong dehydrating and oxidizing properties. It serves as a critical raw material for lead-acid battery manufacturing, gold ore processing, and leather tanning, as well as fertilizer production, metal pickling, and petroleum refining.

Key applications include:

Lead-acid battery electrolytes – provides the ionic conductivity essential for battery charge/discharge cycles

Gold ore processing – used in heap leaching to extract gold from crushed ore

Leather tanning – employed in deliming and pickling operations to prepare hides for tanning

Phosphate fertilizer and ammonium sulfate production

Steel pickling and metal surface cleaning

Catalyst in petroleum alkylation and refining

Our Sulfuric Acid is produced under strict quality control and backed by our own manufacturing base, ensuring consistent strength, low impurities, and batch-to-batch stability.

Grades Available: Industrial Grade | Reagent Grade | Electronic Grade


Why Choose Our Sulfuric Acid


High Concentration & Low Impurities – Typical concentration of 93% or 98%, with trace metals and chlorides strictly controlled – essential for battery electrolyte applications where purity directly affects performance.

Multiple Grades Available – Industrial grade for battery and mining applications, reagent grade for analytical labs, and electronic grade for precision etching.

Flexible & Safe Packaging – Available in 2.5L, 5L, 20L, 30L jerrycans, 200L drums, and 1000L IBC. All shipments comply with IMDG Code, with secure container loading and proper hazardous labeling.

Export Experience – Our team has 13 years of experience in hazardous chemical exports. We have supplied major enterprises including CSCEC and CNPC, ensuring smooth documentation, customs clearance, and on-time delivery.

Hazardous Goods Expertise – We specialize in safe handling, proper segregation, and compliant transport of corrosive and oxidizing chemicals.


Solutions We Provide


Lead-Acid Battery Electrolytes – High-purity sulfuric acid is the standard electrolyte for automotive, marine, and industrial lead-acid batteries. Our acid delivers consistent specific gravity and low heavy metal content, ensuring reliable battery performance and longer service life.

Gold Ore Processing – In gold mining, sulfuric acid is used in heap leaching operations to break down ore matrices and facilitate gold extraction. It is also employed in carbon regeneration and pH control throughout the recovery circuit. Our acid offers controlled concentration for efficient metal recovery.

Leather Tanning – In beamhouse operations, sulfuric acid is used for deliming (removing lime from hides) and pickling (adjusting pH for chrome tanning). Consistent acid strength ensures uniform hide preparation and better final leather quality.

Fertilizer Manufacturing – A key reagent for producing phosphate fertilizers (SSP, TSP, MAP, DAP) and ammonium sulphate. Bulk delivery and steady supply available.

Metal Processing & Steel Mills – For steel pickling, rust removal, and surface preparation before coating. Custom concentrations and delivery schedules available.

Electronics & Semiconductor – Electronic grade sulfuric acid for wafer cleaning and precision etching.
