Acetic Acid, Glacial – CH₃COOH | CAS 64-19-7
Product Overview
Glacial acetic acid is the pure, concentrated form of acetic acid, appearing as a clear, colorless liquid with a sharp, pungent odor. It is widely used in industrial manufacturing, laboratory research, and chemical synthesis for its reactivity and solvent properties. As a corrosive organic acid, it plays a key role in producing acetates, vinyl acetate monomers, and a range of esters, while also functioning as an effective solvent and acidity regulator.
Key Industries
- Chemical Manufacturing – Production of vinyl acetate monomer, cellulose acetate, and polyvinyl acetate
- Pharmaceuticals – Used in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and as a solvent or reagent
- Food & Beverage – As a food additive (E260), acidity regulator, and main component of vinegar
- Textiles & Fibers – For manufacturing synthetic fibers such as cellulose acetate and polyester (PET)
- Paints, Inks & Coatings – As a precursor for resins, inks, and industrial coatings
- Plastics & Polymers – Used in producing polyvinyl acetate and PET plastics
- Adhesives & Sealants – As a building block for glue formulations, especially wood adhesives
- Agriculture – In pesticide formulations and as a herbicide in diluted forms
- Cosmetics & Personal Care – Occasionally used in formulations for its pH adjusting and antibacterial properties
- Water Treatment – Used in certain conditioning and cleaning applications
- Laboratory & Research – Common solvent and reagent in analytical chemistry and biological sample prep
