Chemical Formula: CH?COOH
Molecular Weight: 60.05 g/mol

Description:
Acetic Acid Glacial is a colorless, corrosive liquid with a sharp, pungent odor and a freezing point of about 16.6°C. It represents the concentrated (≥99.5%) form of acetic acid, widely used as a reagent, solvent, and raw material in the manufacture of various organic and industrial chemicals.

This high-purity grade of acetic acid is valued for its excellent solvency, reactivity, and antimicrobial properties, making it a key ingredient in chemical synthesis, textile processing, food preservation (in diluted form), and laboratory applications.

Applications

Chemical Industry:

• Used in the production of vinyl acetate monomer, acetic anhydride, acetate esters, and acetic salts.

• Important intermediate in organic synthesis and petrochemical processes.

Pharmaceuticals:

• Utilized in the preparation of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and other active ingredients.

Textiles & Dyeing:

• Employed in dye baths and as a pH regulator in textile processing.

Food Industry (Diluted Form):

• Used as a preservative and acidity regulator (E260) in diluted concentrations.

Laboratory & Analytical Use:

• Common reagent and solvent for titrations and analytical chemistry applications.
