Acetic acid 14°
Acetic acid is the main component of white vinegar, alcohol vinegar, or crystal vinegar. It is also known as glacial acetic acid or ethanoic acid. It belongs to the family of carboxylic acids. It is produced synthetically by carbonylation of methanol with carbon monoxide (CH3OH + CO ? CH3COOH). It is found in human blood and sweat, and in plant sap.
It is available in 20-liter cans, 200-liter drums, and 1000-liter IBCs.
