30% Vinegar - Concentrated Industrial Strength

Product Overview

30% Vinegar, chemically known as concentrated Acetic Acid solution, is a potent Industrial Grade reagent widely used in industrial, manufacturing, and wastewater applications. Unlike standard consumer-grade vinegar (typically 5%), this 30% concentration offers robust acidity and solvent capabilities required for heavy-duty descaling, pH neutralization, and chemical synthesis. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent, characteristic odor.

Engineered for professional use, this solution provides consistent molarity for predictable reaction rates in process streams. It serves as a vital feedstock for water treatment facilities requiring precise alkalinity reduction and is compatible with HDPE and glass storage systems. The product is manufactured under strict quality control standards to ensure low impurity profiles, making it suitable for textile processing, concrete etching, and industrial equipment cleaning.

Common Applications

• Industrial pH Control: Used extensively in wastewater treatment and industrial water systems to lower pH levels and neutralize alkaline effluent streams.
• Heavy-Duty Cleaning & Descaling: Effective for removing mineral deposits, lime scale, and rust from industrial machinery, heat exchangers, and piping systems.
• Concrete & Masonry: Utilized for surface preparation, etching concrete before sealing, and removing efflorescence from masonry.
• Textile Industry: Acts as an acidulant and mordant in dyeing processes to ensure color fixation and fabric pH neutralization.
• Chemical Manufacturing: Serves as a raw material and solvent in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates and acetate salts.

Safety Precautions

Warning: 30% Vinegar is a corrosive liquid (Class 8). It causes severe skin burns and eye damage upon contact. It is significantly stronger than household vinegar and requires professional handling.

• Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed. Incompatible with strong oxidizers, bases, and metals (such as iron, zinc, and aluminum).
• Handling: Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves (butyl rubber or neoprene), splash-proof chemical goggles, and a face shield. Ensure an eyewash station and safety shower are available nearby.
• Ventilation: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling vapors.
• Spill Response: Neutralize small spills with soda ash or lime before disposal, in accordance with local environmental regulations.

Benefits

High Concentration: 6x stronger than standard vinegar for maximum cost-efficiency and reaction speed.
Versatile Industrial Utility: functions as both a cleaner and a chemical reagent.
Bulk Availability: Scalable packaging options support operations from pilot labs to large-scale manufacturing.
