Product Overview
Concentrated acetic acid for industrial use
Glacial Acetic Acid is the concentrated form of acetic acid, also known as ethanoic acid. It is a clear, colourless liquid with a strong, characteristic odour.
The term “glacial” refers to the way highly concentrated acetic acid can solidify into crystal-like material near 16.6°C. It does not mean that the product contains ice. The exact concentration and test values must be confirmed for the commercial grade being offered.
Trimline Zhejiang Jade Chemicals reviews each enquiry against the stated application, specification, quantity and destination. This provides a clear basis for confirming the available grade, documentation and commercial terms.
Industrial Applications

The correct grade must be selected for the intended process, operating conditions and applicable regulatory requirements.
Terephthalic Acid Processing
Used as a process solvent in the manufacture of purified terephthalic acid for polyester production.
Acetic Anhydride
Used as a raw material in the production of acetic anhydride for controlled downstream chemical processes.
Acetate Esters & Intermediates
Used in the manufacture of acetate esters and other chemical intermediates for industrial formulations and processing.
Before You Order
Define the required commercial grade
Glacial Acetic Acid offers can differ in assay, water content, colour, impurity limits, test methods and approved packaging. These details affect suitability for the intended process.
Share your current specification or application with the enquiry. Our team can then confirm the available product information for the exact material being offered.
Discuss Your RequirementAssay & Water Content
Confirm concentration and moisture limits against the current product specification.
Impurity Profile
Review colour and relevant impurity limits for the intended industrial process.
Documentation
Request the applicable TDS, SDS and COA before making a purchasing decision.
Packaging & Delivery
State the required quantity, destination and any approved packaging or material-compatibility requirement.
Storage & Handling
Corrosive and flammable—follow the current SDS
Glacial Acetic Acid is a corrosive, flammable liquid. Direct contact can cause severe skin burns and eye damage, while vapour can irritate the respiratory system. Handling requires suitable engineering controls, protective equipment and trained personnel.
- Use closed handling systems and effective ventilation where required by the supplier SDS.
- Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, strong oxidants, strong acids and strong bases.
- Store well closed in the original compatible container within a ventilated, fire-safe and properly contained area.
- Follow all applicable transport, spill-response, disposal and workplace regulations.

Product Questions
Glacial Acetic Acid FAQs
Clear product and handling information should be reviewed before confirming a purchase.
What does “glacial” mean in Glacial Acetic Acid?
“Glacial” refers to highly concentrated acetic acid and its ability to solidify into crystal-like material near 16.6°C. The exact assay must still be confirmed for the offered grade.
Is Glacial Acetic Acid the same as diluted acetic acid?
No. Glacial Acetic Acid is highly concentrated, while diluted grades contain a greater proportion of water. They should not be treated as interchangeable without checking the process specification.
Can the product solidify during cool conditions?
Highly concentrated acetic acid can solidify when the temperature falls near its freezing point. Follow the supplier’s SDS and handling instructions rather than applying uncontrolled heating.
What should I include in my enquiry?
Send the required assay or specification, quantity, intended application, destination, packaging preference and documentation requirements.
