Acetic Acid Tech Grade 5L<\/p>\n
What is acetic acid?<\/p>\n
Acetic acid is also known as ethanoic acid, ethylic acid, vinegar acid, and methane carboxylic acid.
Acetic acid is a byproduct of fermentation, and gives vinegar its characteristic odor.
Vinegar is about 4-6% acetic acid in water.
More concentrated solutions can be found in laboratory use, and pure acetic acid containing only traces of water is known as glacial acetic acid.
Dilute solutions like vinegar can contact skin with no harm, but more concentrated solutions will burn the skin.
Glacial acetic acid can cause skin burns and permanent eye damage, and will corrode metal.<\/p>\n
Acetic acid Tech Grade is used in the manufacture of acetic anhydride, cellulose acetate, vinyl acetate monomer, acetic esters, chloracetic acid, plastics, dyes, insecticides, photographic chemicals, and rubber.<\/p>\n
The Food Grade one uses include the manufacture of vitamins, antibiotics, hormones, and organic chemicals, and as a food additive (acidulant).
It is also used in various textile printing processes.<\/p>\n
