CAS No.: 64-19-7
Hazard Class: 8 (Corrosive)
UN No.: 2789
Appearance: Colorless transparent liquid
Description: Food grade glacial acetic acid (≥99.8% purity) is produced through methanol carbonylation or fermentation processes, complying with FCC/EP/JP standards for use as an acidulant (E260) and pH regulator in condiments (4-5% in vinegar), pickled vegetables, and cheese. Its high freezing point (16.6°C) requires temperature-controlled storage, while the undiluted form must be handled with corrosion-resistant equipment (316L stainless steel/PTFE). Key specifications include <1ppm heavy metals, <2mg/kg formic acid, and <0.05% non-volatile residues.
