About Acetic Acid
Acetic Acid (CH3COOH) is a clear, colorless organic liquid with a strong odor resembling household vinegar. Also referred to ethanoic acid, ethylic acid, vinegar acid, and methane carboxylic acid, acetic acid is an aliphatic organic acid that has hygroscopic, and corrosive properties. When it is pure, it is referred to as glacial acetic acid.
Acetic acid is utilized as a food additive at low concentrations. At higher purities, acetic acid is used to make products ranging from chemicals, pesticides, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other commodities. Acetic Acid has roles as a protic solvent, food acidity regulator, and a antimicrobial food preservative. Lab Alley provides various grades of acetic acid (Food, ACS, USP, NF) for specific purposes and requirements.
