Applications:

Glacial Acetic Acid (C2H4O2) is a versatile organic compound with widespread use across various industries. Its key applications include:

  • Chemical Industry: Primarily used in the production of vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), which is a precursor to polymers and resins. It’s also vital for manufacturing purified terephthalic acid (PTA), a key component in PET plastics and polyester fibers.
  • Solvent: Serves as an excellent polar protic solvent for recrystallization to purify organic compounds. It’s used in the production of esters like ethyl acetate and butyl acetate, which are common solvents in paints, coatings, and adhesives.
  • Food Industry: As an essential component of vinegar, it is widely used as a food additive, preservative, and flavoring agent. It acts as an acidity regulator in various food products.
  • Pharmaceuticals: Employed in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical products, including aspirin and other medicinal compounds. It can also be used as a solvent in certain drug formulations.
  • Textile Industry: Utilized in the dyeing process and printing of textiles, particularly in the production of cellulose acetate fibers. It helps in fixing dyes and enhancing fabric properties.
  • Agriculture: Used as a raw material in the production of certain pesticides and herbicides. It can also be applied in its diluted form as a natural weed killer.

Hazard Identification:

Glacial Acetic Acid is classified as a hazardous chemical due to its corrosive and flammable properties. The main hazards associated with its use include:

  • GHS Hazard Pictograms:
  • Signal Word: Danger
  • Hazard Statements:
