Acetic acid 90%

Acetic acid 90% is a highly concentrated solution of acetic acid, commonly used in industrial applications, chemical synthesis, and as a laboratory reagent. This colorless liquid has a pungent, vinegar-like odor and is highly corrosive, requiring careful handling.

Acetic Acid 90% – Industrial Grade Chemical

This is high-strength acetic acid that we use in serious industrial work. It’s basically concentrated vinegar, but way stronger than anything you’d find in your kitchen. We’re talking 90% pure acetic acid here.

Most factories need this stuff for making other chemicals or controlling pH levels. It’s clear, has that sharp vinegar smell, and it works fast. Industries use it because it’s reliable and gets the job done.

What exactly is this chemical?

It’s acetic acid mixed with water to get exactly 90% concentration. Some people call it glacial acetic acid concentrate. We make it through fermentation or synthetic processes – both ways give you a clean, stable product.

The 90% strength means it’s much more powerful than regular vinegar. That’s why it works for industrial processes that need serious acidic conditions.

Where do people use it?

Chemical plants use this to make vinyl acetate, cellulose acetate, and different acetate esters. Textile companies need it for dyeing fabrics – it helps colors stick better. Food manufacturers use it as a preservative and to control acidity levels. And pharmaceutical companies use it to make active ingredients.

When you compare acetic acid vs regular vinegar, this industrial grade is way more concentrated. Regular vinegar is around 5% acetic acid. This is 90%. Big difference.
