30% Diluted Acetic Acid Food Grade

Product Overview

Alliance Chemical provides 30% Diluted Acetic Acid to meet the precise requirements of various industrial and manufacturing processes. This aqueous solution is formulated with high-purity raw materials and deionized water, ensuring a consistent and reliable concentration of ethanoic acid (CAS 64-19-7) for specialized industrial workflows. By sourcing a pre-diluted 30% solution, commercial operations bypass the hazards and handling complexities associated with diluting highly concentrated glacial acetic acid on-site. This controlled dilution provides a stable chemical intermediate that is ready for immediate integration into your production lines or chemical synthesis protocols.

Our 30% concentration of acetic acid (molecular formula C2H4O2, molecular weight 60.05) is manufactured under rigorous quality control standards to deliver dependable performance in every batch. This solution is widely utilized as a mild acidulant, chemical intermediate, and pH regulator across diverse industrial applications. Whether used in textile processing, neutralizations, or specialized formulation work, this product offers the stability required for predictable reactions. Alliance Chemical distributes this solution in multiple packaging configurations, ranging from individual quarts to high-volume gallon cases, to accommodate both laboratory testing and full-scale industrial operations across North America.

Why This Grade

Selecting the correct concentration of acetic acid is critical to ensuring process control, maintaining product quality, and preventing costly equipment damage. The 30% concentration offers a precise balance between chemical reactivity and safe handling, providing sufficient acidity without the extreme volatility and freezing hazards associated with 99.7% glacial acetic acid. Using a concentration that is too low can result in incomplete reactions, insufficient pH adjustment, or excessive water introduction into your system. Conversely, using an overly concentrated form increases the risk of thermal runaway, rapid corrosion of process piping, and severe vapor hazards that threaten personnel safety.

The specific purity and grade standards of this 30% solution ensure that trace metallic and organic impurities are kept within strict limits, preventing catalyst poisoning or unwanted side-reactions. In high-precision manufacturing, even minor deviations in concentration or the presence of unlisted contaminants can ruin entire batches or compromise structural materials. By utilizing our standardized 30% dilution, operators can maintain stable reaction kinetics and predictable neutralization curves. This consistency is essential for maintaining process compliance and ensuring that your finished products meet rigorous internal and external specifications without unexpected batch failures or process drift.

Industrial Applications

• Chemical Synthesis and Esterification: Utilized as a vital raw material and reagent in the synthesis of acetate esters, solvent formulations, and specialized chemical intermediates.
• Water Treatment and pH Control: Used in industrial wastewater treatment plants to neutralize alkaline streams and maintain optimal pH levels for subsequent treatment processes.
• Metal Finishing and Etching: Applied as a mild etching agent and surface cleaner in metallurgical processes to prepare metal substrates for coating or plating.
• Laboratory Reagent and Analysis: Serves as a reliable analytical standard and reagent in laboratory environments for acid-base titrations, buffer preparation, and chemical testing.

Hazmat & Shipping

As a regulated hazardous material, this product is classified and shipped under strict Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. It is designated as UN2790, Hazard Class 8, and Packing Group III, with the proper shipping name Acetic Acid. Because it is a corrosive liquid, the designated GHS signal word is Danger. This classification requires appropriate hazmat labeling, shipping documentation, and compliance with all local, state, and federal transport laws. Standard shipping configurations are engineered to prevent accidental leaks or vapor release during transport. Our logistics team is fully certified in hazmat shipping, ensuring that every container—from individual quarts to multi-gallon cases—is packaged and dispatched safely and in full compliance with DOT regulations to your facility.

Handling this corrosive chemical requires strict adherence to safety protocols and the use of appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). In accordance with the GHS hazard statements H226 (Flammable liquid and vapor) and H314 (Causes severe skin burns and eye damage), personnel must wear chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, face shields, and eye protection. To comply with the precautionary statements, handle the chemical only in well-ventilated areas or under a fume hood to prevent the inhalation of corrosive vapors. Ensure that emergency eyewash stations and safety showers are readily accessible in the immediate handling areas. For comprehensive safety, handling, and environmental guidelines, refer to the safety documentation provided with your shipment.

Handling & Storage

To maintain the stability and purity of the 30% acetic acid solution, it must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location, ideally at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Keep the containers tightly sealed when not in use. This acidic solution is corrosive to many metals; therefore, it is compatible only with high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene, or glass containers. Avoid contact with incompatible materials, which include strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, active metals, and amines, as these can trigger hazardous exothermic reactions or degrade storage vessels.
