We run 40 forklifts across two shifts and battery boil-overs were a constant problem. The AcidSafe powder makes cleanup incredibly simple — shake it on, watch it turn gold, wait for purple, sweep it up. Our operators can handle small spills themselves now instead of shutting down the area and calling maintenance. The color change indicator takes all the guesswork out of it.

Product Overview
The Acid Neutralizer Absorbent 5 Gal. Bucket is a professional-grade AcidSafe granular neutralizing sorbent that absorbs, neutralizes, AND solidifies acid spills on contact. This sodium carbonate-based powder features a built-in pH color-change indicator -- the purple granules turn dark gold on contact with strong acids and yellow/orange for mild acids, then return to purple when neutralization is complete to a safe pH range. No additional pH testing required.
Simply shake the AcidSafe powder onto the acid spill, agitate slightly, and watch the color change. Neutralization is complete in under 2 minutes. The resulting residue is a dry, solidified material that's easy to sweep up and dispose of. Ideal for battery charging stations, acid storage rooms, laboratories, chemical processing areas, and emergency acid spill response. Compatible with sulfuric, hydrochloric, nitric, and most common acids. Not for use with hydrofluoric acid (HF).
Manufactured by WYK Sorbents. Backed by AbsorbentsOnline -- trusted since 1985. Ships FREE to the Continental US.

Expert Insights
With 40+ years of industrial supply experience, AbsorbentsOnline recommends AcidSafe granular neutralizing sorbent as the single most important product for any facility's acid spill response program. The three-in-one formula -- absorbs, neutralizes, and solidifies -- eliminates the need for separate containment, neutralization, and solidification steps.
The pH color-change indicator is a critical safety feature: purple granules turn dark gold on contact with strong acids, yellow/orange for mild acids, and return to purple when neutralization to a safe pH is complete. This visual system eliminates guesswork and pH paper testing during an active spill.
Pro Tip: Pre-position AcidSafe containers at every acid-handling location -- battery charging stations, chemical storage rooms, and laboratory acid cabinets. The shaker carton format is ideal for individual workstations, while larger containers (buckets, pails, drums) should be staged at central spill response locations.

What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.
-
-
Our OSHA inspector specifically asked about our acid spill response capability in the battery room. Having these spill kits mounted at each charging station satisfied the requirement immediately. The kits have everything — neutralizer, goggles, gloves, face shield, disposal bags. No scrambling to find separate pieces during an emergency. AbsorbentsOnline pricing beat everyone else we checked.
-
We switched from baking soda to AcidSafe for our battery maintenance program and the difference is night and day. The liquid spray makes cleaning battery terminals so much easier — you can actually see the acid residue react and get neutralized. Our battery life has improved since we started using it regularly. The free shipping on bulk orders is a great bonus.
