Description
Genome Specialities supplies premium-grade Glacial Acetic Acid 99.8%, the pure, anhydrous form of acetic acid.
Acetic Acid is used in food, pharma and other industries.
Known for its high purity and strong acidity, this chemical is widely used across industrial, pharmaceutical, and laboratory applications.
Glacial acetic acid99.8% is the pure, anhydrous (water-free) form of acetic acid (CH₃COOH).
Since Acetic Acid solidifies into ice-like crystals just below room temperature (freezing point: ~16.6°C or ~62°F) is also known as Glacial Acetic Acid.
