About Organic Acids

Buy acetic acid, citric acid, oxalic acid, vinegar concentrations, and specialty organic acids from Alliance Chemical in ACS Reagent, Food Grade, and Technical purity levels.

Products In This Collection

This collection includes acetic acid glacial Technical Grade (CAS 64-19-7, >99.5%), citric acid 50% solution (Reagent Grade), oxalic acid dihydrate ACS Reagent Grade (CAS 6153-56-6, 99.0–100.5% assay, iron ≤2 ppm), 75% vinegar, and 30% vinegar concentrated industrial strength.

Common Applications

Glacial acetic acid is used in chemical synthesis, textile dyeing, and as a laboratory reagent. Citric acid 50% serves metal surface treatment, industrial cleaning, and food acidulation. Oxalic acid dihydrate is the standard for rust and iron stain removal, wood bleaching, and analytical chemistry. Concentrated vinegar at 75% is used for industrial descaling and pH neutralization. The 30% concentration provides industrial cleaning, agricultural weed control, and water treatment pH adjustment.

Why Buy From Alliance Chemical

All organic acids ship with Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Certificates of Analysis (COA). Alliance Chemical offers 1-2 business day shipping, no minimum orders, and proper packaging for corrosive materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the common grades of acetic acid available?
Acetic acid is available in various grades, including glacial, industrial, and food grade. At Alliance Chemical, we offer high-purity glacial acetic acid suitable for industrial applications, along with food-grade options for culinary uses.
How do I safely store organic acids?
Organic acids should be stored in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials such as strong bases. Ensure that containers are tightly sealed and clearly labeled; consult Alliance Chemical's storage guidelines for specific product details.
What are the uses of citric acid in industrial applications?
Citric acid is widely used for pH adjustment, descaling, and as a chelating agent in various industries, including food processing and cleaning. Alliance Chemical provides citric acid in grades suited for both industrial and food applications.
Is concentrated vinegar safe for agricultural use?
Concentrated vinegar can be used for soil pH adjustment in agriculture, but it must be handled with care. Follow Alliance Chemical's usage instructions and safety protocols to ensure effective and safe application.
Which grade of oxalic acid is best for wood bleaching?
For wood bleaching, a technical grade of oxalic acid is typically used. Alliance Chemical provides detailed guidance on the specific concentrations and safety measures necessary for effective use.
How much glacial acetic acid should I use for cleaning?
The concentration of glacial acetic acid used for cleaning depends on the surface and type of soil. Typically, dilute to a lower concentration; consult Alliance Chemical for specific dilution ratios and safety measures.
What is the acidity of 75% vinegar compared to acetic acid?
75% vinegar is a highly concentrated form of acetic acid with typical uses in industrial settings, deviating significantly from household vinegar. Consult Alliance Chemical for handling guidelines and dilution suggestions.
Are organic acids environmentally safe?
Organic acids, such as those offered by Alliance Chemical, are biodegradable and generally considered environmentally friendly when used correctly. Always follow safety guidelines and disposal regulations to minimize environmental impact.
