Sulfuric acid is the backbone of modern industry. Selecting the right supplier goes beyond price. Learn the five key factors—quality, compliance, logistics, support, and sustainability—that define a reliable partner. Discover how Brainerd Chemical delivers confidence, safety, and expertise in every supply relationship.
Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) is one of the most widely used and produced chemicals in the world—an indispensable foundation of modern manufacturing. From fertilizers that sustain global agriculture to batteries powering our vehicles and devices, sulfuric acid quietly drives progress across countless industries.
In fact, by volume, sulfuric acid is the largest industrial chemical produced in the United States, making its demand a trusted barometer of industrial activity and overall economic health.
Why Sulfuric Acid Matters
Sulfuric acid is a vital input in:
- Fertilizers – supporting the production of phosphate fertilizers that feed the world.
- Metals & Steel – essential in ore processing, pickling, and refining.
- Energy Storage – powering lead-acid batteries used in vehicles, backup power, and renewable energy systems.
- Chemicals & Materials – enabling the production of nylon, pigments, synthetic resins, detergents, and pharmaceuticals.
Without it, the world’s ability to grow food, build infrastructure, and develop new technologies would be significantly diminished.
