For technical applications.                         

Application

As a natural acid, acetic acid offers a wide range of possible applications: e.g. in cleaning formulations and for descaling. In addition, acetic acid is often used as a biogenic herbicide, although commercial use as a herbicide is not permitted in enclosed areas.

Further information

Acetic acid, like other organic acids, can also be produced by fermentation. Acetic acid is also produced on an industrial scale by oxidizing ethylene. There are also a number of other manufacturing processes for this product. Acetic acid and its derivatives (salts, polymers, etc.) are therefore important raw material components for the chemical industry.

Storage

Store only in the original container in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep container closed when not in use.
