75% Vinegar

Product Overview

75% Vinegar is a concentrated acetic acid solution formulated for food-grade applications, delivering a robust acidity profile suitable for preservation, flavor enhancement, and pH adjustment in both culinary and industrial settings. This solution comprises acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and water, providing predictable acid strength that aligns with standard food-grade specifications and safety guidelines. The concentrate is intended for dilution in food preparation, formulation work, and as a reagent in controlled chemical processes where precise acidity is required. Its high acetic acid content enables efficient microbial suppression in pickling, marinades, dressings, and related products, while maintaining compatibility with HDPE and glass container systems commonly used in food manufacturing environments. The product is manufactured under rigorous quality control to ensure consistent assay accuracy, low residual ash, and compliance with heavy metal limits critical for food safety. The emphasis on controlled composition and trace metal cleanliness supports reliable batch-to-batch performance across diverse processing conditions.

75% Vinegar is a versatile concentrate designed for precise dosing in recipes, formulation labs, and cleaning protocols where a strong, food-grade acidic component is beneficial. Its stability and compatibility with standard processing equipment make it suitable for scale-up from pilot batches to full production runs, while its clear, colorless appearance and characteristic vinegar odor aid in straightforward handling and inspection.

Safety Precautions

Handling and storage should follow established chemical hygiene practices. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, in containers compatible with strong organic acids (HDPE or glass). Use appropriate PPE, including chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing. Ensure good ventilation during handling to minimize vapor exposure and avoid contact with strong bases and oxidizing agents that may react with the solution. Maintain secure container closures and implement spill containment procedures in process areas to prevent environmental release.

Additional safety considerations include adherence to exposure limits and emergency procedures outlined in the SDS. In case of accidental exposure, follow standard first-aid protocols: rinse eyes with water for several minutes, wash skin with soap and water, move to fresh air if inhaled, and seek medical attention if irritation persists or symptoms develop. For ingestion, do not induce vomiting; rinse mouth and seek medical advice. In case of a spill, evacuate personnel, contain with inert absorbent material, and dispose of waste per local regulations. Transport is classified as UN 1789, Acetic Acid Solution, Class 8, PG II.
