Acetic Acid
We also offer acetic acid that is widely used
in textile and food industry. Acetic acid is a clear liquid that has
a pungent odor. It is free from water and is highly corrosive in
nature. In addition, it is formulated and tested in adherence with
international standards.
Acetic acid is one of the simplest carboxylic
acids. It is an important chemical reagent and industrial chemical,
mainly used in the production of cellulose acetate mainly for
photographic film and polyvinyl acetate for wood glue, as well as
synthetic fibres and fabrics. In households, diluted acetic acid is
often used in descaling agents. In the food industry, acetic acid is
used under the food additive code E260 as an acidity regulator and
as a condiment. As a food additive it is approved for usage in the
EU,
