Definition and Areas of Use: :

It is produced in industry by biological and synthetic methods. The salt and its ester are called acetate. It is completely soluble in water. It is a weak acid. The glacial acetic acid type of acetic acid contains 99.5% pure acetic acid. This 99.5% glacial form of acetic acid solidifies at 17°C and forms a structure similar to crystalline ice grains.

Usage areas

• It is used in vinegar production. It also prevents the formation of microorganisms in pickle making, thus preventing the vegetables from spoiling.
• It is used as a raw material in the production of most chemicals in industry. It is especially used in the production of vinyl acetate, from which the polyvinyl acetate is used as wood glue.
• It is used in industry as a solvent. For example, it is used as a solvent in the production of terephthalic acid, which is used in the production of PET plastics. This usage accounts for 5-10% of all acetic acid usage.
• 4. It is used as a buffer in the food industry. It is used as an acidifier, preservative and flavoring agent.
