What Is Glacial Acetic Acid?
Glacial acetic acid is high-concentration acetic acid. Because its freezing point is approximately 16.6°C, the product may crystallize or solidify at lower ambient temperatures; this does not by itself mean the product has failed. Any return to liquid form should follow the product SDS and site safety procedures, without unassessed direct heating.
Applications
- Production of acetate esters and other acetic-acid derivatives.
- Coatings, inks, adhesives and solvent-related industrial formulations.
- Textile, dye, leather and chemical processing.
- Process-confirmed pH adjustment and industrial manufacturing uses.
How to Select Industrial Glacial Acetic Acid
Confirm acetic acid content, appearance, moisture and other quality requirements, application, packaging, storage and destination. Different industrial processes can have different impurity and packaging-compatibility requirements, so suitability should not be judged from the “99.5%” value alone.
Packaging, Storage and Documents
Typical packaging is 30 kg drums, 200 kg drums or IBC tanks, subject to order and transport conditions. Store in sealed, compatible containers and follow the applicable SDS, labeling, ventilation, fire-prevention and corrosive-chemical procedures. TDS, MSDS/SDS and batch COA can be coordinated according to the confirmed grade and order conditions.
Glacial Acetic Acid Quality and End-Use Fit
For glacial acetic acid, a headline assay does not describe the whole grade. Water, color, formic acid, aldehydes and non-volatile residue may matter differently in synthesis, formulation and pH-control applications.
Key Purchasing Parameters
- State minimum acetic acid assay and maximum water content.
- List color, formic acid, aldehyde, iron or residue limits required by the process.
- Confirm whether the use is synthesis, formulation, cleaning or controlled pH adjustment.
- Agree compatible drum, IBC or bulk packaging and destination transport requirements.

Information to Include in an Inquiry
Provide the end use, required specification, monthly quantity, packaging, destination port and document list. Compatibility, dilution and site handling must follow the current SDS and operating procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are glacial acetic acid and acetic acid the same chemical?
Glacial acetic acid is the common name for high-concentration acetic acid. The chemical name is acetic acid (ethanoic acid), CAS No. 64-19-7.
Why can glacial acetic acid crystallize?
Its freezing point is approximately 16.6°C, so crystallization or solidification can occur at lower temperatures. Follow the SDS and site procedures when handling crystallized material.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Provide the target content or specification, application, quantity, packaging preference, destination port and required documents so the supply and transport option can be confirmed.
