Glacial Acetic Acid 35kgs

Glacial Acetic Acid is a high-purity, colorless, and pungent-smelling liquid with a strong acidic nature. It is a concentrated form of acetic acid containing a minimum of 99% pure acetic acid and is free from water, making it highly corrosive and potent. It is named “glacial” because it solidifies into ice-like crystals at temperatures below 16.7°C (62°F). Glacial Acetic Acid is widely used in various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and chemicals, due to its versatility and powerful reactivity.
