UCC Shchekinoazot Sulphuric Acid (Battery Acid) is a Colorless, odorless, non-combustible, visco-oily hygroscopic liquid. Sulphuric Acid is soluble in water, is highly active when interreacting with reducing agents, organic matters, metals, alkalies, is an aggressive media for non-ferrous metals and light steels (at 90% concentration). At temperature 340°C sulphuric acid degrades into sulfur dioxide (SO2), sulfur trioxide (SO3) and sulfurous gas.
