Description

Acetic Acid (CH₃COOH) - High Purity Reagent Grade

Product Name: Acetic Acid, Glacial

CAS Number: 64-19-7

Chemical Formula: CH₃COOH

Grade: Reagent Grade (minimum purity 99.8%)

Description:

This product offers high-purity glacial acetic acid, ideal for a wide range of applications requiring a highly concentrated and pure form of this common carboxylic acid. Glacial acetic acid refers to essentially pure acetic acid with a minimal water content. Our reagent-grade acetic acid undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for use in demanding scientific, industrial, and research settings.

Key Features & Benefits:

• High Purity: Guaranteed minimum purity of 99.8%, ensuring reliable and consistent results in your experiments and processes. Impurities are kept to a strict minimum, minimizing the risk of contamination and unwanted side reactions.
• Reagent Grade Quality: Meets or exceeds the standards set for reagent-grade chemicals, making it suitable for analytical procedures, chemical synthesis, and other sensitive applications.
• Glacial Form: The near-anhydrous nature of glacial acetic acid makes it highly reactive and suitable for applications requiring concentrated acetic acid.
• Versatile Applications: Used extensively in various industries including:
  • Chemical Synthesis: As a reactant and solvent in the production of numerous chemicals, including esters, vinyl acetate, and cellulose acetate.
  • Analytical Chemistry: Used as a solvent, titrant, and reagent in various analytical techniques.
  • Pharmaceutical Industry: Used in the production of pharmaceuticals and as a component in some formulations.
  • Food Industry: Used as a food additive (vinegar is a dilute solution of acetic acid), preservative, and acidulant (E260).
  • Textile Industry: Used in dyeing and finishing processes.
• Safe Handling: While generally safe when handled properly, acetic acid is corrosive and should be handled with appropriate safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, eye protection, and lab coat. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and safety information.
