1.Product Property
Glacial Acetic Acid is a highly pure form of acetic acid (with the chemical formula CH₃COOH) with a concentration of ≥ 99.8%. It is a colorless and transparent liquid with a pungent sour smell. It is widely used in the food industry (as an acidity regulator E260), pharmaceutical synthesis (as a raw material for aspirin), textile printing and dyeing, and chemical production (such as PTA, vinyl acetate, etc.).
