99.5% acetic acid (GAA CAS 64-19-7) is a colorless liquid with a distinctly sour taste. Although commonly known as acetic acid, this acid has a variety of other uses across multiple industries.
- Chemical Raw Material: Approximately 60% of GAA is used to produce vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), which is then used to manufacture polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), adhesives, and coatings; 20% is used to synthesize purified terephthalic acid (PTA), used in the production of polyester (PET) plastic bottles and textile fibers.
- Food Industry: Acetic acid (GAA) is used as an acidulant (E260) in condiments, pickled products, and beverages; a 4%-8% solution is known as vinegar.
- Pharmaceuticals and Pesticides: Acetic acid (GAA) is used to synthesize acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), chloroacetic acid (a herbicide raw material), and antibiotic intermediates.
- Solvents and Derivatives: High-purity GAA is used as a polar solvent, deriving ethyl acetate (coating thinner), cellulose acetate (films, filter membranes), etc. Other uses: pH adjuster in the printing and dyeing industry, rubber coagulant, and synthetic fragrance (such as isoamyl acetate).
99.5% Acetic Acid (GAA) Safety Precautions
- Corrosivity: Direct contact with 99% glacial acetic acid can cause severe chemical burns. Wear acid-resistant gloves (such as butyl rubber) and safety goggles.
- Dilution Method: The acid must be added to water slowly (never in reverse) to avoid violent exothermic splashes. For example, to prepare a 30% solution, the recommended ratio is glacial acetic acid:water = 3:7 (volume ratio).
99.5% Acetic Acid (GAA) Storage
99.5% acetic acid (GAA) should be stored in an approved area away from heat sources or other sources of ignition. Keep away from incompatible materials, including oxidizers, reducing agents, metals, acids, and alkalis. Store acetic acid in a sealed container in a cool, well-ventilated place.
