What is glacial acetic acid (GAA CAS 64-19-7)?
Glacial acetic acid, also known as anhydrous acetic acid, is a carboxylic acid classified as a weak acid. It consists of a hydrocarbon chain linked to a carboxyl group, with the molecular formula C₂H₄O₂. However, due to the high acetic acid content in GAA (typically above 95%), volatile acids constitute a significant proportion, resulting in strong volatility. Acetic acid (GAA CAS 64-19-7) solution is a vital chemical raw material widely used in pharmaceuticals, organic chemistry, organic synthesis, synthetic fibers, polymer chemistry, pesticides, leather processing, rubber, and other industries.

Glacial Acetic Acid Price per kg
Prices are indicative CIF (delivered) levels for industrial grade GAA with bulk volumes. Actual prices depend on contract terms, purity, packaging (IBC, drums, ISO tanks), shipment size, and port logistics.
| Region | Typical Price (USD/kg) |
|---|---|
| South America | 0.90 – 1.70 |
| East Africa | 1.20 – 2.50 |
| West Africa | 1.10 – 2.70 |
| China | ~0.40 – 1.00 (factory price range) |
China domestic factory prices (bulk tonnage) often translate to ~$390–$800 per metric ton (approx. ~0.40–0.80 USD/kg) for industrial GAA, depending on purity and volume - significantly lower than typical delivered import prices in Africa and South America.
Main uses of acetic acid (GAA CAS 64-19-7)
Glacial Acetic Acid (GAA) is acetic acid with a concentration ≥99%, named for its low-temperature solidification into ice-like crystals. Its applications fall into four major categories:
Industrial Applications
- Synthesis of vinyl acetate (used in paint and adhesive manufacturing), terephthalic acid (raw material for PET plastics), etc. Approximately 60% of global glacial acetic acid is consumed in chemical production.
- As a pH adjuster in textile dyeing to ensure uniform dye adsorption.
Laboratory Settings
- Acetic Acid (GAA CAS 64-19-7) solution is used to prepare buffers (e.g., acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer, pH 4.0-5.5) for biochemical experiments.
- A 3%-5% dilution is typically employed for protein precipitation.
Medical Applications
- Treating plantar warts: Apply 80%+ concentration directly to the wart for cauterization. Professional administration is required to prevent skin burns.
- Disinfecting otitis externa: Dilute to 2%-3% for use in inhibiting fungi and bacteria.
Food Additives
Food-grade acetic acid (GAA CAS 64-19-7) solution (E260) is used in pickling and seasonings, with a safe limit of 10g/kg.
Packaging of acetic acid (GAA CAS 64-19-7)
| Packaging Type | Net Weight | Loading Quantity (20' FCL) |
|---|---|---|
| Plastic / Steel Drum | 30 kg | 720 drums |
| Plastic / Steel Drum | 220 kg | 80 drums |
| IBC Drum | 1,050 kg | 20 drums |
