What is acetic acid?
Acetic acid (CH₃COOH), also known as ethanoic acid, is a colourless organic acid used across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. At high purity, it is commonly sold as glacial acetic acid, typically at a concentration of 99.5% or above.
In Pakistan, acetic acid is widely used in textile dyeing and finishing, pharmaceutical processing, food preservation, coatings, chemical synthesis, and industrial cleaning. It plays a crucial role in pH adjustment, intermediate manufacturing, solvent systems, and preservation processes.
