Min 99.85% Glacial
A clear, colorless liquid with a strong, pungent odor characteristic of vinegar. "Glacial" refers to the anhydrous (water-free) form which solidifies into ice-like crystals at cool temperatures (16.6°C). It is a vital building block in the chemical industry.
Acetic Acid Glacial is one of the most important organic chemicals. It is used in the production of Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM), which is the precursor for paints and adhesives. It is also essential for producing Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA), used in polyester manufacturing.
Ruvon International supplies high-purity (99.85% Min) Glacial Acetic Acid, sourced from leading Indian petrochemical giants. Our material is suitable for high-end applications like pharmaceuticals, food processing (as an acidity regulator), and chemical synthesis.

The term "Glacial" highlights the purity of the acid. Pure Acetic Acid freezes at 16.6°C (61.9°F), forming ice-like crystals. If your Acetic Acid doesn't freeze in a cold room, it likely contains water! This physical property is a quick on-site quality check. Ruvon guarantees a freezing point above 16.4°C, ensuring you pay for the chemical, not water.
Used as an acidifying agent and for neutralizing alkali in dyeing.
Key raw material for Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) and Ethyl Acetate.
