Whether you’re in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, or chemicals, our bio acetic acid is a smart choice for reducing carbon emissions while maintaining the high purity and consistency your applications demand.

What is acetic acid?

Acetic acid, also known as ethanoic acid, is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH₃COOH. Naturally present in vinegar, it is widely used as a key intermediate in the production of plastics, solvents, food additives, adhesives, and textiles. It is a clear, colourless liquid with a strong, pungent smell. Acetic acid is highly miscible with water and many organic solvents, making it essential in countless chemical processes.
