Acetic acid, 80% - technical grade (5 kg) - 5 kg

For applications in the technical field.                         

Application

As a natural acid, acetic acid offers a wide range of possible applications: e.g. in cleaning formulations and for decalcification. In addition, acetic acid is commonly used as a biogenic herbicide, although commercial use as a herbicide is not permitted on enclosed areas.

Additional Information

Acetic acid, like other organic acids, can be produced by fermentation. In addition, acetic acid is produced on a large scale by oxidation of ethylene. In addition, there are a number of other manufacturing processes for this product. Acetic acid and its downstream products (salts, polymers, etc.) are thus important raw material components for the chemical industry.

Storage

Store only in the original container in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep container closed when not in use.
