ACETIC ACID – GLACIAL (A.R Grade)

Conduct Precise Experiments with Glacial Acetic Acid (A.R Grade)

Glacial acetic acid, also known as anhydrous acetic acid, is a highly concentrated form of vinegar used in various laboratory applications. This A.R grade offering ensures exceptional purity, making it ideal for critical research and chemical syntheses.

Uncompromising Purity:

A.R. Grade Designation: Meeting the stringent standards of Analytical Reagent grade, this glacial acetic acid boasts a minimum purity of 99.7%. This minimizes the presence of impurities that could potentially affect your experiments.

Glacial Form: This anhydrous form contains minimal water content (less than 0.5%), maximizing the concentration of acetic acid for dependable results.

Versatile Laboratory Applications:

Chemical Synthesis: Glacial acetic plays a vital role in numerous organic syntheses. It acts as a solvent, reactant, or catalyst in a wide range of reactions.

Organic Compound Production: This concentrated acid is used in the production of various organic compounds, such as esters, acetates, and cellulose acetate.

Analytical Chemistry: A.R. grade is suitable for preparing standard solutions used in various analytical techniques like titrations and acid-base determinations.

Potent Properties and Safety Precautions:

Strong Acid: Glacial acetic acid is a strong acid that can cause severe skin burns and eye damage. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, safety glasses, a lab coat, and a respirator when handling this concentrated solution.

Corrosive: It can damage certain materials like metals and fabrics. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area in its original labeled container.

Hygroscopic: This acid readily absorbs moisture from the air. Ensure the container is properly sealed when not in use to maintain its anhydrous form.

Essential for Precise Research:

A.R. grade Glacial is an indispensable tool for laboratories conducting critical research and organic syntheses. Its exceptional purity, high concentration, and diverse applications make it a cornerstone for various laboratory procedures.  Remember to prioritize safety by following recommended handling and storage protocols.
