Acetic Acid 30% (GW)

Acetic Acid 30%: is a weak organic acid, and a 30% solution is a more concentrated form than typical household vinegar, which contains around 5-6% acetic acid. The 30% solution is a clear, colourless liquid with a pungent, sharp odour. Although acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is a weak acid in terms of dissociation, a 30% solution is considered relatively strong compared to common household concentrations. It is widely used in laboratory, industrial, and agricultural applications for chemical reactions, as a solvent, and in pH regulation.

It is used in a variety of applications, from its role in biochemical processes and research to its use as a preservative and cleaning agent. It is also a key reagent in the preparation of buffers and other laboratory solutions.

Frequent Uses

Industrial Cleaning
A 30% acetic acid solution is used to remove mineral deposits, rust, and limescale from industrial equipment, pipes, and machinery. It is effective for cleaning and maintaining boilers, water heaters, and other metal surfaces.

Chemical Reactions
In laboratories and manufacturing, a 30% acetic acid solution is used as a reagent in various chemical processes, including esterification reactions, where it reacts with alcohols to produce esters, and as a catalyst in organic synthesis.

pH Regulation
Due to its acidity, a 30% acetic acid solution is used in both laboratory and industrial applications to adjust and control the pH of solutions, ensuring optimal conditions for chemical reactions or processes.

Agriculture
In agriculture, a 30% acetic acid solution is sometimes used as a natural herbicide to control weeds in non-crop areas. It is effective at drying out plant tissue and preventing weed growth.

Food Processing
A diluted 30% acetic acid solution can be used in food processing, particularly in the production of pickles, as it helps preserve food and maintain its acidity. However, it must be diluted further before use in food applications.
