Applications & Industrial Use Cases:
1. Chemical Manufacturing
Used as a core building block in synthesizing compounds like acetic anhydride, vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), and various esters and solvents.
2. Food & Beverage Processing
Diluted acetic acid is used as a preservative (E260) and acidity regulator in the food industry. Suitable for cleaning-in-place (CIP) systems in food-grade environments (food-grade available upon request).
3. Pharmaceutical Industry
Employed as a solvent and pH adjuster in drug formulation, including antibiotics and wound irrigation solutions. Acetic Acid is also used in medical vinegar preparations.
4. Textile Industry
Used in dyeing and finishing to control pH and as a mordant. Acetic acid ensures precise color binding and improves fiber texture in cotton and synthetic textiles.
5. Adhesives and Coatings
Key raw material in the production of polyvinyl acetate (PVA) resins and adhesives. Also applied in solvent-based coatings and plasticizers.
6. Water Treatment
Acetic Acid serves as a carbon source in biological wastewater treatment and helps adjust alkalinity in industrial water systems.
7. Cleaning and Descaling
A powerful descaler and biofilm remover, Acetic Acid is widely used in industrial cleaning formulations, especially for metal surfaces, pipelines, and chemical equipment.
