{"product_id":"acetic-acid-glacial-food-grade","title":"Acetic Acid Glacial - Food Grade","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlacial acetic acid (CAS 64-19-7) is a highly concentrated, anhydrous form of ethanoic acid with the chemical formula C2H4O2 and a molecular weight of 60.05. Known for its characteristic pungent odor and clear, colorless appearance, this organic compound is a vital component across numerous manufacturing sectors. Alliance Chemical supplies this chemical to meet the rigorous demands of industrial processing, ensuring consistency, reliability, and high purity in every batch. As an essential chemical intermediate, it serves as a cornerstone reagent in the synthesis of vinyl acetate monomer, acetic anhydride, and various acetate esters that drive modern manufacturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur supply of this product is meticulously managed to maintain its anhydrous state. Since glacial acetic acid crystallizes at temperatures below 61.9 °F, handling and logistics require precise temperature controls, a factor that Alliance Chemical manages with professional expertise. Whether utilized as a solvent, a pH adjuster, or a precursor in chemical synthesis, our glacial acetic acid provides the exact specification profile necessary to protect your process integrity. We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) available upon request and a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) with every order to ensure total compliance and peace of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Grade\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelecting the correct purity grade of glacial acetic acid is critical to preventing process deviations and ensuring the high quality of your finished products. This specific high-purity FCC and manufacturing-compliant grade is engineered with stringent limits on heavy metals, chlorides, and sulfate impurities, which are common points of failure in lesser technical grades. In complex industrial processes, even trace amounts of metallic contaminants can act as unwanted catalysts, poisoning expensive process catalysts or initiating runaway side reactions. By utilizing our high-specification product, process engineers can eliminate variability and maintain strict control over reaction kinetics, ensuring reproducible yields shift after shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the moisture content of glacial acetic acid must be kept exceptionally low. In applications such as specialized solvent formulations or polyester polymer synthesis, the presence of excess water can severely impede chemical reactions, shift equilibria unfavorably, or cause hydrolytic degradation of polymer chains. Utilizing a generic or lower-grade alternative often results in premature equipment corrosion, product discoloration, and final outputs that fail quality control standards. This high-purity grade ensures that your chemical systems operate at peak efficiency without the risk of moisture-induced side reactions or contamination-driven product failures, safeguarding your operational output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"chemical-profile\" data-source=\"canonical\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChemical Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCAS Number\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e64-19-7\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eChemical Formula\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eC2H4O2\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMolecular Weight\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e60.05 g\/mol\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eBoiling Point\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e244 °F at 760 mmHg (NTP, 1992)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMelting Point\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e61.9 °F (NTP, 1992)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eFlash Point\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e104 °F (NTP, 1992)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eSpecific Gravity\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e1.051 at 68 °F (USCG, 1999) - Denser than water; will sink\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eAppearance\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eAcetic acid, glacial appears as a clear colorless liquid with a strong odor of vinegar.

Alliance Chemical maintains full compliance with all hazmat shipping standards, utilizing certified packaging and reliable carriers to deliver your product safely and securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandling this compound requires strict adherence to safety protocols and the use of appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to mitigate risks. Personnel must wear chemical-resistant gloves (such as butyl rubber or neoprene), splash-resistant safety goggles, a full face shield, and protective clothing to guard against dermal and ocular contact. In areas where vapor concentrations may exceed permissible exposure limits, a NIOSH-approved respirator equipped with organic vapor cartridges must be utilized. Ensure proper ventilation is maintained in all work areas, and keep emergency eyewash stations and safety showers readily accessible in the immediate vicinity of handling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHandling \u0026amp; Storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStorage of glacial acetic acid requires careful consideration of its physical properties, particularly its melting point of 61.9 °F. To prevent crystallization, the product should be stored in a temperature-controlled environment maintained between 65 °F and 90 °F; if freezing occurs, gentle warming is required to liquify the material without applying direct heat. The chemical is highly corrosive to many metals, including mild steel, copper, and brass; therefore, it must be stored in compatible containers constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), glass, or specific grades of stainless steel. Keep containers tightly closed and isolated from strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, and active metals to avoid hazardous chemical reactions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrder \u0026amp; Documentation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlliance Chemical is committed to providing seamless procurement and comprehensive documentation for your operational needs.
