Glacial Acetic Acid

Glacial acetic acid is also known as anhydrous acetic acid or water-free acetic acid. Glacial acetic acid is called "glacial" because its freezing point (16.7 C) is only slightly below room temperature. In the (generally unheated) laboratories in which the pure material was first prepared, the acid was often found to have frozen into ice-like crystals. The term "glacial acetic acid" is now taken to refer to pure acetic acid (ethanoic acid) in any physical state. The chemical formula of acetic acid is CH3CO2H.

Acetic acid is used in the manufacture of Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM), Ester production, Acetic Anhydride, Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA), Monochloroacetic Acid (MCA) etc.
