Product Overview

Acetic Acid Glacial 99.7% AR (CAS No. 64-19-7) is a high-purity analytical reagent grade of concentrated acetic acid, widely employed in analytical chemistry, quality control laboratories, research institutions, and industrial testing facilities. It is a clear, colourless liquid possessing a characteristic pungent odour and exhibits complete miscibility with water, alcohols, and many organic solvents. Its well-defined purity, low level of impurities, and consistent analytical performance make it a preferred reagent for precise laboratory applications where accuracy and reproducibility are essential.

The AR (Analytical Reagent) grade is specifically manufactured for analytical procedures requiring dependable chemical quality and batch-to-batch consistency. It is extensively used in qualitative and quantitative analysis, analytical reagent preparation, pH adjustment, titrimetric analysis, and laboratory method development. The controlled purity of this grade makes it suitable for research laboratories, pharmaceutical quality control laboratories, educational institutions, chemical testing laboratories, and industrial analytical facilities where reliable analytical results are required.

In addition to its widespread use as an analytical reagent, glacial acetic acid serves as an important reactant and solvent in numerous laboratory procedures. It is frequently employed in the preparation of acetate buffers, analytical solutions, reagent formulations, and sample preparation protocols. The material also participates in esterification, acetylation, neutralization, and condensation reactions, making it valuable for both analytical and synthetic laboratory work. Its combination of acidic strength, solvent properties, and chemical versatility has established glacial acetic acid as one of the most extensively utilized reagents in modern analytical and research laboratories.

Storage Conditions

Store in a tightly closed, chemically resistant container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Protect from moisture, direct sunlight, and excessive heat. Keep away from oxidizing agents, alkalis, and incompatible substances. If crystallization occurs below approximately 16.6°C, warm the container gently until the contents become completely liquid before use. Ensure the container remains tightly closed after each use to maintain product integrity.
