Product Overview
Alliance Chemical offers 50% Diluted Acetic Acid as a high-purity, aqueous solution designed to meet demanding industrial standards. This specific concentration of ethanoic acid (CAS 64-19-7) provides an optimal balance of reactivity and handling safety, eliminating the need for in-house dilution of glacial acetic acid. The chemical formulation, represented by the molecular formula C2H4O2 with a molecular weight of 60.05 g/mol, is synthesized under strict quality controls to ensure consistent concentration levels. Our Texas-based facility manages the distribution of this versatile acid to support a wide range of commercial operations across the United States. Since 1997, our family-run company has prioritized absolute compliance and transparency, ensuring that every shipment aligns with rigorous verification parameters.
This 50% dilution of acetic acid is widely utilized across diverse technical sectors where precise pH adjustment and chemical synthesis are required. By utilizing a pre-diluted solution, facilities reduce the operational hazards associated with mixing concentrated acids, such as exothermic heat generation and corrosive vapor emission. Alliance Chemical supplies this product in multiple packaging configurations, ranging from convenient quarts to high-volume drums and totes, to match the operational scale of your facility, available in our acids collection. Each order is accompanied by detailed documentation to guarantee batch traceability and regulatory compliance. We maintain a reliable supply chain to prevent operational downtime for our partners, offering consistent quality in every single delivery.
Why This Grade
Choosing the appropriate concentration and grade of acetic acid is critical to the success of your chemical processes. The 50% Diluted Acetic Acid specification ensures that the solution meets strict purity thresholds, minimizing trace metallic impurities and organic contaminants that could otherwise interfere with sensitive reactions. We supply this specific grade to support diverse operations across industrial manufacturing sectors. In many industrial applications, utilizing an uncertified or lower-grade chemical can introduce unwanted bypass elements, leading to catalyst poisoning, compromised product consistency, or equipment corrosion. This precise 50% concentration is specifically chosen by operators who require a stable, moderate-strength acid that provides predictable neutralization curves without the extreme volatility associated with glacial variants.
Failure to use the correct grade of acetic acid can result in significant operational failures and financial losses. For instance, in chemical synthesis or textile processing, unexpected trace heavy metals in a lower-grade acid can alter the final product properties or ruin dye batches. This standardized 50% solution prevents the common failure mode of over-acidification, which often occurs when dosing highly concentrated glacial acid. By maintaining a tight concentration tolerance, our technical partners can calibrate their automated dosing systems with absolute confidence. This grade ensures that your processes remain compliant with industry-specific quality management systems, safeguarding your operations from contamination risks.

Hazmat & Shipping
As a regulated material, 50% Diluted Acetic Acid Food Grade is classified under Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. It is officially designated as UN2790, Hazard Class 8, Packing Group II. The Proper Shipping Name is Acetic Acid, and the assigned Signal Word is Danger. This product carries specific hazard statements, including H226 (Flammable liquid and vapor) and H314 (Causes severe skin burns and eye damage). GHS pictograms are not applicable for this diluted canonical entry. Due to these corrosive and flammable properties, all transport and handling must strictly comply with federal hazardous materials regulations. Alliance Chemical coordinates with certified hazmat carriers to guarantee that every shipment is properly placarded, labeled, and documented for safe transit to your facility.
Proper handling of this regulated chemical requires strict adherence to safety protocols and the use of appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). To mitigate the risks associated with GHS statements H226, H314, and precautionary guidelines like P280 and P260, operators must wear chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, and eye or face protection. Ensure that handling areas are equipped with adequate local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits. An emergency eyewash station and safety shower must be readily accessible in the immediate work area. Alliance Chemical provides comprehensive safety guidelines to assist your team in establishing safe handling procedures. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided with every order for detailed emergency response and first-aid measures.
Handling & Storage
Store 50% Diluted Acetic Acid in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Keep the storage temperature within the recommended range of 15°C to 25°C to prevent crystallization or excess vapor pressure. This acidic solution is highly corrosive to metals, including mild steel, copper, and brass. Therefore, store only in compatible, corrosion-resistant containers such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or glass. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Avoid contact with incompatible substances, including strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, active metals, and amines, to prevent hazardous chemical reactions.
