75% Diluted Acetic Acid Food Grade

Product Overview

75% Diluted Acetic Acid Food Grade is a highly concentrated aqueous solution of ethanoic acid (CAS 64-19-7), formulated to exact chemical specifications. This intermediate-strength acid plays a vital role in numerous industrial processes where a precise concentration of acidity is required without the crystallization challenges associated with glacial acetic acid. The compound has the molecular formula C2H4O2 and a molecular weight of 60.05. By maintaining a strict 75% concentration, this chemical offers an optimal balance of high chemical activity and convenient liquid handling under standard temperature conditions—making it a preferred choice for bulk industrial operations.

Alliance Chemical provides this high-quality dilution to meet the demanding requirements of various sectors. Our strict quality control systems ensure that each batch conforms to rigorous standards of purity and composition, minimizing unwanted trace contaminants. This reliable concentration is widely utilized in large-scale manufacturing, chemical synthesis, and pH adjustment across multiple sectors. Our logistics network is designed to handle this regulated substance safely, ensuring that industrial users receive their chemical shipments in compliance with all relevant DOT regulations and safety protocols.

Why This Grade

Selecting the precise concentration of acetic acid is critical for process stability and yield optimization. The 75% dilution is specifically selected by industrial operators who require a strong acidic punch but want to avoid the freezing point issues of glacial acetic acid, which solidifies at approximately 16.6°C (62°F). At 75% concentration, the freezing point is significantly lowered, allowing for safer and more reliable outdoor storage and cold-weather handling without the need for heated tracing lines or specialized drum-warming equipment. This concentration level represents an optimal threshold where chemical reactivity remains high while the physical handling properties are significantly improved for year-round operational reliability.

Utilizing an incorrect grade or an unverified concentration can introduce severe failure modes into an industrial workflow. For example, using a lower concentration like 56% or 10% would introduce excessive water into chemical synthesis, leading to unwanted hydrolytic side reactions, reduced yield, and expensive separation steps. Conversely, using glacial acetic acid where a 75% dilution is specified can lead to localized overheating, runaway reactions, or premature equipment degradation due to the highly exothermic nature of in-situ dilution. Furthermore, utilizing a standard technical grade instead of the high-purity designated grade risks introducing trace heavy metals or chlorides that can poison catalysts, interfere with delicate chemical balances, or cause corrosion in stainless steel processing vessels.

Industrial Applications

• Textile Processing and Dyeing: Utilized as an effective acidifier for dye baths to control pH levels and ensure uniform dye absorption across various synthetic and natural fibers.
• Agricultural Formulations: Serving as a raw material or pH regulator in the manufacture of agricultural chemicals and specialized soil adjustment formulations.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acting as an essential reactant and solvent in the production of various acetate esters, anhydride compounds, and chemical intermediates.
• Water and Wastewater Treatment: Employed for precise pH neutralization of alkaline wastewater streams in municipal and industrial processing facilities before discharge.
• Industrial Cleaning and Descaling: Used in industrial maintenance formulations to dissolve mineral scale, rust, and carbonate deposits from heat exchangers and piping systems.

Hazmat & Shipping

75% Diluted Acetic Acid Food Grade is a hazardous material and is fully regulated for transport. It is classified under UN number **UN2790**, with a hazard class of **8** (Corrosive) and is assigned to packing group **II**. The proper shipping name for transport is **Acetic Acid**. The signal word for this chemical is **Danger**. Under GHS guidelines, GHS pictograms are not applicable based on the official classification of this specific dilution. Due to its corrosive nature, shipping must comply strictly with all Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations for class 8 corrosive liquids. Alliance Chemical utilizes specialized hazmat carriers to ensure safe, compliant transit from our facility to your location, maintaining secure containment throughout the supply chain.

The hazard statements associated with this material are H226 (Flammable liquid and vapor) and H314 (Causes severe skin burns and eye damage). To mitigate these risks, personnel must wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as specified by the precautionary statements, including P280. This requires the use of chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, eye protection, and face protection. Work areas must be equipped with adequate ventilation, and handlers must avoid breathing vapors (P260). In case of accidental exposure, immediate medical attention is required (P316), and the protocols outlined in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) must be followed precisely.

Handling & Storage

Proper handling and storage of this corrosive acid are critical for facility safety and material longevity. Storage should occur in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, ideally maintained between 15°C and 25°C to prevent thermal stress on the packaging. The material must be kept in compatible containers such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or glass; metals like carbon steel, copper, and aluminum are highly incompatible and will suffer rapid corrosion, potentially releasing flammable hydrogen gas. Ensure containers are kept tightly closed when not in use. This chemical must be segregated from strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, and active metals to prevent hazardous chemical reactions.
