Acetic Acid

Acetic acid serves as a key ingredient in various industrial processes, primarily as a precursor for vinyl acetate (VAM) production. It acts as a catalyst in terephthalic acid manufacturing and serves as a raw material for cellulose acetate, acetate esters, acetic anhydride, chloroacetic acid, and other industrial syntheses. Notably, in its most common form as vinegar, acetic acid constitutes approximately 6% of its composition, making it a widely utilized ingredient in both chemical processing and everyday life.
