Description
Buy Acetic Acid Glacial 99.7% | Industrial & Laboratory Grade Chemical
Acetic Acid Glacial (CH₃COOH) is a highly concentrated, corrosive, and volatile liquid with a sharp, pungent odor. It is widely used as a chemical reagent, solvent, and raw material in a range of industrial and laboratory processes. The term “glacial” refers to its pure, water-free form, which solidifies just below room temperature (16.6°C).
We supply Acetic Acid Glacial in three high-purity grades: 99.5%, 99.7%, and 98%, meeting HPLC, Analytical Reagent (AR), and Laboratory Grade specifications. It appears as a clear, colourless liquid with excellent miscibility in water and organic solvents. This makes it suitable for titration, sample preparation, and general analytical work, as well as for commercial synthesis of esters, plastics, dyes, and pharmaceuticals.
High Purity Acetic Acid for Chemical Manufacturing & Analysis
In industry, acetic acid glacial is used in manufacturing vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), acetic anhydride, synthetic fibres, paints, and inks. In laboratories, it is valued for its precision and stability in buffer solutions, chemical extraction, and chromatographic analysis.
The product is classified as UN 2789 and must be handled with chemical-resistant protective equipment and stored away from heat, bases, and incompatible materials. For comprehensive safety guidelines on handling organic acids, refer to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) chemical database, and for detailed chemical properties, consult the PubChem compound database.
