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