The No. 1 hazardous material for accidental injury is sulfuric acid. The primary reason for such an injury is mistaking hazardous materials for water. The procedure to identify an unknown liquid and treat it with the appropriate response material is complicated and lengthy.
Applying Amphomag® Universal Spill Neutralizer to water creates no significant cost or reaction which would indicate a false positive ID for hazardous material. If the spilled material is sulfuric acid, Amphomag will turn red. Once neutralized with Amphomag, sulfuric acid is rendered harmless as epsom salt. Caustic soda or sodium hydroxide turns blue until neutralized and is rendered as simple milk of magnesia.
