Description
Acetic Acid 80% Food Grade E260
Molecular formula: CH3COOH
This is Acetic acid 80% (Ethanoic acid) supplied in HDPE bottle.
USES
Non chemical weed killer
Acetic acid is a chemical reagent for the production of chemical compounds. The largest single use of acetic acid is in the production of vinyl acetate monomer, closely followed by acetic anhydride and ester production. The volume of acetic acid used in vinegar is comparatively small.
Bee Keeping
Fumigation with acetic acid will kill a wide range of pathogens including the causative agents of chalk brood, European foulbrood, Nosema and amoeba. It will also kill all stages of wax moth except pupae.
Vinegar
Vinegar is typically 4-18% acetic acid by mass. Vinegar is used directly as a condiment, and in the pickling of vegetables and other foods. Table vinegar tends to be more diluted (4% to 8% acetic acid), while commercial food pickling, in general, employs solutions that are more concentrated.
Use as solvent
Glacial acetic acid is an excellent polar protic solvent, as noted above. It is frequently used as a solvent for recrystallization to purify organic compounds. Acetic acid is used as a solvent in the production of terephthalic acid (TPA), the raw material for polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
Niche applications
Dilute solutions of acetic acids are also used as a stop bath during the development of photographic films, and in descaling agents to remove limescale from taps and kettles. In the clinical laboratory dilute acetic acid lyse red blood cells in order to facilitate microscopic examination
