FAQs
80 Acetic Acid has a number of key uses. As mentioned, it is used in the production of vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) as well as ester production. In terms of everyday appearances, Acetic Acid 80 can be used in the production of acetates for inks, paints, coatings and a number of dyes. It also has a variety of manufacturing and agricultural uses; being particularly good as an eco-friendly weed killer and a good solution for descaling limescale and removing rust.
Acetic Acid is generally safe, but as with most chemicals, it depends entirely on the percentage/ concentration of the product. In its most diluted form, acetic acid may irritate your eyes, throat and nasal passages. Anything over 25% concentration can cause corrosive damage to surfaces, people and animals – so it must be handled with care. 80% Acetic Acid, therefore, can be highly dangerous if not properly handled. We recommend speaking to our experts or consulting our safety guides to find out more.
Simply put; yes. Over 39°C there is a risk of flammability. We highly recommend following precautionary storing methods and not exposing Acetic Acid 80% to open flames, sparks or smoke.
The boiling point of technical grade (80) acetic acid is between 101-107C.
