Common Industrial Chemicals Used by Manufacturing Industries There are hundreds of thousands of industrial chemicals. Some are used in the creation of consumer items, others in the generation of energy, and yet others in the production of other industrial chemicals. Which chemicals are most vital for global industrial manufacturing?
- Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4): Sulfuric acid is the world's most widely manufactured industrial chemical. Its primary industrial application is the production of phosphoric acid, which is a key component of most chemical fertilisers. Sulfuric acid is an essential component in metal manufacture, particularly in the production of copper and zinc, as well as in steel cleaning. Sulfuric acid output grows at a rate of more than 3% per year, fueled primarily by demand from the Asia-Pacific area. Palvi FZE is a noted Industrial Chemical Exporter in Ghana.
