About Acetic Acid

Acetic Acid

Known for accurate composition, purity and non-toxicity, these are largely used in manufacturing various chemical compounds. Highly demanded in textile and food industry, our range of Acetic Acid is appreciated for its International quality and high effectiveness. A clear liquid with a pungent odor, our range is available in tanker load and in carboys of 35 kg.

Acetic acid is a byproduct of fermentation, and gives vinegar its characteristic odor. It is an important chemical reagent and industrial chemical, used primarily in the production of cellulose acetate for photographic film, polyvinyl acetate for wood glue, and synthetic fibres and fabrics. In households, diluted acetic acid is often used in descaling agents. In the food industry, acetic acid is controlled by the food additive code E260 as an acidity regulator and as a condiment.

Key Characteristics of Acetic Acid

With a purity of 99.50%, Acetic Acid is a colorless, clear liquid with a sharp, strong odor. Its molecular formula is C2H4O2, and it has a boiling point of 118C. Stable under normal conditions, it is corrosive to metals and thus should be stored in resistant containers. Due to its strong acidic nature (pH 2.4 for 1M), it finds use in a variety of pharmaceutical, food, and industrial applications.


Packaging and Safe Storage Guidelines

Acetic Acid is supplied in secure 30 kg or 35 kg containers. To maintain product quality and safety, it should be kept tightly sealed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Proper storage helps prevent metal corrosion and protects from accidental exposure due to its pungent odor and corrosive properties. When stored as recommended, its shelf life reaches up to 24 months.
