Packaging and shipping
Glacial Acetic Acid (GAA, CAS 64-19-7) is a high-purity organic acid with excellent stability, strong acidity, and good solubility. It is a colorless transparent liquid that may form crystals at low temperatures and turns into liquid when slightly heated. With molecular formula C₂H₄O₂ and molecular weight 60.05, it shows strong compatibility with water and many organic solvents. Our GAA is mainly supplied as industrial or food grade with strict quality control, low moisture and impurity content, and stable performance. It is widely used in chemical synthesis, food additives, and polymer production. As a key raw material in chemical and food industries, it ensures high efficiency and stable performance in various applications




Product Description
Glacial Acetic Acid (GAA, CAS 64-19-7) is an important high-purity organic acid widely used in the chemical, food, and textile industries.
It has strong acidity, good chemical stability, and excellent solubility, making it an essential component in various chemical processes and formulations.
It appears as a colorless transparent liquid that may form crystals at low temperatures and melts into liquid when slightly heated. Our GAA is produced as industrial or food grade with purity over 99.50%, strict control of moisture, heavy metals, and other impurities, ensuring stable and consistent quality for industrial use.
GAA is mainly used in chemical synthesis, usually as a key raw material for the production of vinyl acetate, acetic anhydride, and esters, to improve reaction efficiency and product performance.
It is also applied in food additives, textile processing, and industrial cleaning as a mild and efficient acidifying agent or solvent. In usage, GAA is handled and blended under controlled and sealed conditions to ensure safety and prevent contamination.
It is widely applied in food processing, textile dyeing, and chemical manufacturing industries. With high efficiency and stable performance, Glacial Acetic Acid has become an indispensable basic material in modern chemical and food industries.
