Organic Acids
Organic acids are carbon-containing acids that serve critical roles in food processing, cleaning, water treatment, and chemical manufacturing. Unlike strong mineral acids, organic acids tend to be milder and are often preferred where gentler acidification or natural sourcing is important.
This collection includes products such as acetic acid (vinegar), citric acid, oxalic acid, formic acid, lactic acid, and glycolic acid. Applications span food and beverage acidulation and preservation, descaling and rust removal, textile dyeing and finishing, pH adjustment in agricultural and water systems, and biodegradable cleaning formulations. Our article on the many uses of 10% and 30% vinegar covers practical cleaning applications for acetic acid-based products.
Available grades include Technical, Food Grade, USP, and ACS Reagent depending on the acid. Packaging ranges from quarts and gallons for small-batch and household use to drums and totes for food manufacturing and industrial operations. To compare purity standards, review our guide to chemical grades.
All orders include a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and Certificate of Analysis (COA). Alliance Chemical provides same-day shipping, no minimum order requirements, and competitive pricing on every organic acid we stock.
