Glacial Acetic Acid (≥99.5%)

Glacial Acetic Acid (CH₃COOH) is a high-purity, clear, colorless liquid with a strong, vinegar-like odor. It has a purity of ≥99.5%, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial and commercial uses.

This versatile acid is used in various industries, including chemicals, food processing, textiles, and pharmaceuticals. It serves as a key ingredient in the production of chemicals like acetic anhydride and acetate esters. In food, it acts as a preservative and acidulant, while in textiles, it is used for dyeing and finishing fabrics. The pharmaceutical industry also relies on Glacial Acetic Acid for creating active ingredients.

Appication (s):

• Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) production
• Acetic Anhydride and ester synthesis
• Textile dyeing and finishing
• Food additive & preservative (E260)
• Household and industrial cleaners
• Pharmaceutical intermediates

Acetic acid is a versatile chemical to use across various industries due to its acidic and solvent properties. One of its primary uses is in the production of Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM), a key component in manufacturing adhesives. Some industries like, paints, coatings, and textiles. Raw materials in the synthesis of Acetic Anhydride and various esters, which are crucial in producing plastics, synthetic fibers, and photographic chemicals.

In the textile industry, acetic acid is widely using during dyeing and finishing processes to adjust pH and improve color fastness. It plays an important role in the formulation of food additives and preservatives—notably designated as E260—where it helps maintain food quality, extend shelf life, and enhance flavor.

Acetic acid is also a common ingredient in household and industrial cleaning products, where it acts as a descaler, disinfectant, and grease remover due to its antibacterial properties. Furthermore, it is utilized in the pharmaceutical industry as an intermediate for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), vitamins, and other medicinal compounds.
