1. Product Overview

Acetic Acid (CAS No. 64-19-7) is one of the most important organic acids used worldwide in chemical manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and laboratory applications.

High-purity acetic acid (≥99.8%), commonly referred to as Glacial Acetic Acid, is the anhydrous form of acetic acid and serves as a key intermediate in numerous industrial value chains.

Our company supplies high-purity liquid acetic acid with stable batch consistency, full traceability, and complete regulatory documentation. As a hazardous liquid chemical, the product is transported using UN-certified liquid packaging systems in compliance with international transport regulations including IMDG, ADR, and IATA.

Important Note:
Acetic acid itself is typically produced as an industrial chemical raw material. Its suitability for food, pharmaceutical, or other regulated applications depends on downstream purification, compliance testing, and applicable standards such as FCC, GB 1903.41, USP, or EP.
