Product Overview
Alliance Chemical provides 75% Vinegar ACS Grade as a highly concentrated, purified aqueous solution of acetic acid (CAS 64-19-7). This high-strength industrial solution is manufactured to meet rigorous American Chemical Society (ACS) standards, ensuring minimal impurity profiles and precise assay consistency across all production batches. Unlike standard retail vinegar, which typically ranges from 4% to 8% acidity, our 75% concentration is a professional-grade formulation engineered specifically for demanding technical, scientific, and industrial processes. We supply this product to facilities nationwide from our central Texas distribution hub.
With a molecular formula of C2H4O2 and a molecular weight of 60.05, this concentrated solution balances high acidity with precise chemical purity. Industries rely on our 75% Vinegar ACS Grade for applications requiring a strong, controlled acidic medium where trace metallic or organic impurities must be strictly limited. Utilizing a premium ACS grade product prevents process contamination and guarantees reproducible results in sensitive workflows. A comprehensive Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is provided with every order to ensure safe handling, and a Certificate of Analysis (COA) is always available upon request.
Why This Grade
Selecting the correct grade and concentration is critical for maintaining process integrity in industrial and laboratory settings. Our 75% Vinegar ACS Grade offers a precise balance between concentration and stability, providing high acidity without the extreme freezing point issues associated with glacial acetic acid. The ACS Reagent specification ensures that trace impurities—such as heavy metals, iron, sulfate, and chloride—are kept below stringent thresholds. This makes it ideal for chemical synthesis, analytical testing, and specialized manufacturing where even minor contaminants can poison catalysts or alter reaction kinetics.
Using a lower technical grade or an incorrect concentration can lead to significant process failures. For example, using standard commercial vinegar can introduce organic residues, sugars, and metal ions that interfere with spectrophotometric analysis or cause unwanted side reactions in chemical formulations. Furthermore, choosing a lower concentration, such as a 50% solution, requires larger volumetric additions, which can disrupt delicate fluid dynamics, dilute critical reactions, or cause volumetric overflow in process tanks. By standardizing on 75% ACS Grade, operators prevent these costly failure modes and maintain strict quality control standards.

- Specialized Cleaning Formulations: Incorporated into high-purity industrial cleaning agents and descaling solutions designed for heat exchangers, pipelines, and equipment sensitive to mineral scale buildup.
Hazmat & Shipping
Due to its high concentration, 75% Vinegar ACS Grade is a regulated hazardous material. It is classified under United States Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations as UN2790, Hazard Class 8, Packing Group II. The proper shipping name is Acetic acid solution, with not less than 50 percent but not more than 80 percent acid, by mass. The authoritative signal word for this product is Danger. Alliance Chemical manages all shipping logistics in strict accordance with DOT hazmat protocols, ensuring that your order is packaged, labeled, and transported safely by certified carrier partners. We ship this product in compatible, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers ranging from individual quarts to bulk quantities.
Handling this corrosive liquid requires appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to mitigate risks associated with its GHS hazard classifications. In accordance with hazard statements H226 (Flammable liquid and vapor) and H314 (Causes severe skin burns and eye damage), personnel must wear chemical-resistant gloves, a protective face shield, safety goggles, and acid-resistant clothing. The precautionary statements—including P260 (Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray), P280 (Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection), and P303+P361+P353 (If on skin or hair: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water)—must be carefully observed during transfer and compounding. Ensure adequate local exhaust ventilation is operational in all handling areas.
Handling & Storage
Store 75% Vinegar ACS Grade in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated dedicated corrosive storage cabinet or area. Keep the storage temperature maintained between 60°F and 90°F to prevent crystallization, which can occur at lower temperatures, and to minimize vapor pressure buildup at elevated temperatures. This product must be kept in its original, tightly closed containers—ideally constructed from compatible high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or glass. Avoid any contact or proximity to incompatible materials, including strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, active metals such as zinc or aluminum, and amines, as these can trigger hazardous exothermic reactions.
