Technical Description & Product Overview
Glacial Acetic Acid is a high-purity, concentrated form of acetic acid, typically supplied at 99%–99.7%+ concentration. It is a clear, colorless, hygroscopic liquid with a characteristic pungent vinegar-like odor and is widely used as an acidifying agent, pH regulator, solvent, chemical intermediate and processing aid. Applications include food processing, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, detergents, textiles, chemical manufacturing, laboratory applications and industrial cleaning. It is also used in the manufacture of acetate esters, cellulose acetate and polyvinyl acetate. CAS No.: 64-19-7 | Formula: CH₃COOH | Molecular Weight: 60.05 g/mol | Typical density: ~1.05 g/cm³. Glacial acetic acid is highly corrosive and requires appropriate chemical-resistant handling, storage and PPE in accordance with its SDS.
