-
Industrial Grade: ≥99.8% purity with higher allowable impurities (water, aldehydes, metals). Cheaper, but unsafe for consumption. For general manufacturing, cleaning, and chemical synthesis.
-
Natural Food Grade: Produced via biological fermentation (e.g., from corn, sugarcane). Made by nature, used for high-end “natural” label food products and premium condiments.
-
Synthetic Food Grade: Produced via chemical synthesis (e.g., methanol carbonylation). High purity, cost-effective. For general food processing, preservatives, and dressings.
Summary: The Industrial Grade is strictly for manufacturing and should not come into contact with food. The Natural Food Grade is made by fermentation, while the Synthetic Food Grade is made by chemical reactions; both are safe to eat, but the latter is usually cheaper.

FAQ of Glacial Acetic Acid
Yes. It is corrosive (UN 2789, Class 8) . It can cause severe skin burns and eye damage. Always wear gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Use in well-ventilated areas.
Yes. We provide full dangerous goods documentation: MSDS, dangerous goods transport certificate, UN packaging certificate, commercial invoice, packing list, and customs clearance documents.
We are a direct manufacturer of Glacial Acetic Acid with our own production facility, ensuring stable supply, consistent quality, and competitive pricing.
Always add glacial acetic acid to water, never water to acid, to prevent violent splashing. Never mix with strong oxidizers, bases, or metals like aluminum, zinc, or iron – it reacts to produce flammable hydrogen gas.
Our Glacial Acetic Acid is supplied in 1.05 metric ton (MT) IBC containers for efficient handling and transport.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials (oxidizers, bases). Keep containers tightly sealed. Recommended storage temperature: 15-30°C to prevent solidification.
