30% Acetic Acid (Vinegar)

30% Acetic Acid (Vinegar) is a clear, colorless liquid with a strong, pungent aroma. It is a dilute form of acetic acid, significantly more concentrated than common household vinegar, which usually contains around 5% acetic acid. This product is a powerful acid and should be treated as such, despite its familiar use in lower concentrations.

Uses:

At this concentration, 30% acetic acid can be used as an effective industrial cleaner and descaler. It is also utilized in food production as a preservative and flavor enhancer, albeit in highly regulated quantities. In agriculture, it may be used as a more potent herbicide and can serve as a soil acidifier.

Industrial Applications:

30% Acetic Acid is commonly used in various industrial settings. In the food industry, it serves as a preservative for pickling processes. In water treatment plants, it can act as a pH adjuster. Additionally, it finds utility in textile industries for processes like dyeing and in chemical synthesis as a reagent.

Safety and Handling:

30% Acetic Acid is corrosive and can cause burns on skin and severe eye damage. It should be handled with care, using proper personal protective equipment (PPE) such as acid-resistant gloves and safety goggles. In case of contact, immediately rinse the affected area with plenty of water and seek medical attention. It should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area and kept away from incompatible materials like alkalis and oxidizing agents.

UN Number:

The UN Number for 30% Acetic Acid is UN 2789.
