75% Vinegar

Product Overview

75% Vinegar is a high-concentration technical grade acetic acid solution designed for rigorous industrial applications. Significantly stronger than standard household vinegar (5%) or cleaning vinegar (30%), this solution delivers robust acidity suitable for heavy-duty descaling, pH neutralization, and chemical processing. Comprising acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and water, it provides a predictable acid strength for manufacturing and industrial maintenance.

This concentrate is intended for dilution or direct use in controlled chemical processes where high acidity is required. Its high acetic acid content enables efficient mineral deposit removal, surface preparation, and pH adjustment in wastewater treatment, while maintaining compatibility with HDPE and glass container systems. The product is manufactured under strict quality control to ensure consistent assay accuracy and reliable batch-to-batch performance for industrial users.

Common Applications

• Industrial Cleaning & Descaling: Highly effective for removing mineral scale, rust, and oxidation from industrial equipment and masonry.
• pH Control: Used effectively to lower pH in wastewater treatment and industrial water systems.
• Surface Preparation: Utilized for etching concrete and preparing metal surfaces prior to coating or finishing.
• Chemical Manufacturing: Serves as a raw material and reagent in the production of acetates and other chemical compounds.
• Textile Processing: Used in dyeing processes and as a neutralizing agent.

Safety Precautions

DANGER: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage. 75% Vinegar is corrosive. Handling and storage must 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, goggles, face shield, and protective clothing. Ensure good ventilation during handling to minimize vapor exposure. Avoid contact with strong bases and oxidizing agents.

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 immediate medical attention. Refer to the SDS for full safety and emergency information. Transport is classified as UN 2790, Acetic Acid Solution, Class 8, PG II.
