This high-purity (≥99.8%) Glacial Acetic Acid (CAS 64-19-7) is a colorless, pungent liquid that solidifies below 16.6°C. It is a vital organic chemical raw material, widely used to synthesize vinyl acetate, acetate esters, pharmaceuticals (e.g., aspirin), food additives, dyes, and pesticides.
Acetic acid, also known as ethanoic acid, with CAS No. 64-19-7, is a colorless, transparent liquid that solidifies into ice-like crystals at low temperatures (below 16.6°C); hence, it is commonly referred to as glacial acetic acid. It has a strong, pungent acidic odor and is readily soluble in solvents such as water, ethanol, ether, and glycerol. Its aqueous solution exhibits weak acidity. Acetic acid is an important basic organic chemical raw material widely used in fields including synthetic fibers, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, dyes, and the food industry.Molecular formula:C₂H₄O₂
