Acetic Acid

A dilute (approximately 5 percent by volume) solution of acetic acid produced by fermentation and oxidation of natural carbohydrates is called vinegar; a salt, ester, or acylal of acetic acid is called acetate. Industrially, acetic acid is used in the preparation of metal acetates, used in some printing processes; vinyl acetate, employed in the production of plastics; lose acetate, used in making tograc films and textiles; and volatile organic esters (such as ethyl and butyl acetates), widely used as solvents for resins, paints, and lacquers.Acetic Acid 99.85 % min. by wt.Water 00.15% max.Colour 10 A max.Formic Acid 0.05 % max. by wt.Acetaldehyde 0.05% max. by wt.Heavy Metals as Pb Less than 2 ppmIodides 40 ppb max.Permanganate 2.00 hrs. min.Freezing Point 16.4 deg CSpecific Gravity 1.049 at 25 deg C
