What we supply

Sulphuric Acid in bulk, against a written specification.

Sulphuric acid moves in more tonnage than any other industrial chemical, and for good reason — it pickles steel, makes fertiliser, sulphonates detergent feedstock, regenerates ion-exchange resin and neutralises alkaline effluent. Velora supplies commercial and battery grades, and dilutions where a plant wants the acid delivered at working strength rather than diluting on site.

The grade distinction that matters commercially is iron and colour. Battery grade is the tighter of the two; commercial grade is what pickling lines and effluent plants normally buy. We confirm which one a line is quoted against in writing before the purchase order, not after.

Grades & packing

What goes out, and how it is packed.

These are the formats we most commonly supply. Other concentrations, packing sizes and pack marking are available — ask at the enquiry stage.

Applications

Where sulphuric acid earns its place.

Fertiliser

Acidulating rock phosphate to single super phosphate, and making ammonium sulphate.

Steel & metals

Pickling and descaling before galvanising or cold rolling; leaching in mineral processing.

Detergents & surfactants

Sulphonation feedstock chemistry upstream of LABSA.

Effluent treatment

Neutralising alkaline streams and correcting pH ahead of biological treatment.

Batteries

Electrolyte make-up at the tighter battery grade.

Dyes & intermediates

A workhorse reagent through the Gujarat dye-intermediate cluster.

Handling & storage

What to get right before the load arrives.

Worth reading before you order rather than after. If any of this is a problem at your site, tell us — it usually changes what we would quote.

Site notes

  • Carbon steel is standard for 93% acid and above, at ambient temperature and low flow velocity, because the acid passivates the surface. Dilute acid is the opposite and attacks steel aggressively, so dilutions need lined or plastic storage. Getting this wrong is the single most common storage mistake we see, so tell us the strength you are storing and in what. Keep water out — any ingress locally dilutes the acid, destroys the passive film and starts rapid corrosion at that spot.
  • Even passivated, concentrated acid slowly attacks carbon steel and the reaction produces hydrogen, which collects in the tank vapour space. Sulphuric storage tanks must be vented, and no hot work — welding, cutting, grinding — goes near one until it has been gas-freed and tested. This is a repeatedly fatal scenario, not a theoretical one.
  • Always add acid to water when diluting, never the reverse. The heat released is substantial and adding water to concentrated acid can flash and throw acid out of the vessel.
  • 98% acid crystallises just above freezing, at roughly 0–3 °C, so a January delivery into northern India can set solid in the line. 93–94% acid stays liquid far below that and is the right winter specification if your process can take it. It is not a catalogue line but we can source it — ask before you order for a cold-weather movement.
  • Class 8 corrosive, moved under hazardous-goods rules with a TREM card and trained driver. Unloading crews need full acid PPE and a working safety shower.

Price

What actually moves the sulphuric acid price.

Sulphuric acid is a by-product economy as much as a manufactured one — a lot of it comes off smelter gas, so its price moves with metals output as well as with sulphur and freight. Because the acid is cheap per tonne and heavy, freight is an unusually large share of the landed cost, which means distance from the source plant often matters more than the ex-works number. Send us the delivery point and we will quote landed, not ex-works.

Questions

Sulphuric Acid — what buyers ask us.

What is the difference between commercial and battery grade?

Battery grade is made to tighter limits on iron and colour because those contaminants shorten battery life. Commercial grade is entirely adequate for pickling, effluent neutralisation and fertiliser duty and costs less. If your process is sensitive to a particular trace element, tell us which one and we will quote against that parameter.

Can you supply dilute sulphuric acid?

Yes, at strengths through the 33–70% range. Delivered dilution saves you the dilution step and the heat-removal problem, but you pay freight on the water — worth comparing both ways for your volume, and we will lay out the comparison if you ask.

Do you supply the COA and MSDS before I order?

Yes. The GHS-format safety data sheet and a representative certificate of analysis go out before any commercial discussion, so EHS and QC can clear the material first. The batch-specific COA travels with the despatch documents.

What is the sulphuric acid price per kg?

We quote sulphuric acid per kg or per tonne, delivered to your plant, in writing. Acid prices swing with sulphur and smelter by-product supply, and freight is a large share of the landed cost, so a published rate would mislead. Send grade, quantity and pin code and you get a firm number with validity, usually the same working day.

Are you a sulphuric acid manufacturer in Gujarat?

No — Velora is a bulk supplier, not a manufacturing plant. We source sulphuric acid from qualified producers, mostly in Gujarat, and deliver it by tanker and drum across India and for export. We tell you the source category when we quote.

What is the HSN code for sulphuric acid?

The HSN code for sulphuric acid is 2807 00 10 (Sulphuric acid). Strength and grade do not change the 8-digit code. Source: the Indian customs tariff as listed in the GST HSN directory, checked September 2026.
