Frequent Uses

Cleaning Products

Acetic Acid is widely used in the cleaning industry for its ability to dissolve limescale, grease, and other residues. As an acidic component, it breaks down mineral deposits and soap scum.

Production of Cellulose Acetate for Photographic Film

It's a key reagent in the production of cellulose acetate, a versatile polymer used in photographic film and film-based applications. By reacting Acetic Acid with cellulose, manufacturers create cellulose acetate, which has unique properties such as transparency, strength, and stability, making it ideal for film, plastics, and some textiles.

Production of Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA) for Wood Glue and Synthetic Fibres and Fabrics

Polyvinyl acetate (PVA) is created through the polymerisation of vinyl acetate, a process that involves Acetic Acid. PVA is a core ingredient in wood glue due to its strong adhesion and flexibility, and it is also used in the production of synthetic fibres and fabrics, enhancing durability and elasticity.
