Glacial Acetic Acid – Reagent Grade (AR/GR) & Electronic Grade (CH₃COOH) 99.5%-99.8%

Glacial Acetic Acid – the pure, water-free form of acetic acid – serves high-purity applications across laboratory and electronics settings. Reagent Grade (AR and GR) supports analytical chemistry where consistent purity determines separation quality. Electronic Grade serves semiconductor manufacturing where trace contamination affects device performance.

What distinguishes glacial acetic acid from other organic acids is its complete absence of water. This anhydrous nature matters for moisture-sensitive reactions and chromatographic separations. AR meets analytical reagent standards. GR offers tighter impurity control. Electronic Grade removes metals and particles for sensitive electronics applications.

Typical specification: 99.5% – 99.8% CH₃COOH. Freezing point 16.7°C. Each grade ships with a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis.

Grades Available: AR | GR | Electronic Grade

Certified Purity, Fully Traceable – Every container includes a COA documenting actual metal content and impurity levels. You receive verified data for your quality records.

Three Grades for Different Applications – AR for routine HPLC and titration work. GR for stricter analytical requirements. Electronic Grade for semiconductor and electronics manufacturing.

Lab-Ready Packaging – Supplied in 500mL, 1L, 2.5L, 5L bottles, and 20L carboys. Small volumes prevent waste and contamination.

Export Track Record – 13 years in chemical exports. Complete documentation supports your quality system.

HPLC Mobile Phase Preparation – Analytical laboratories use reagent glacial acetic acid to prepare mobile phases for reversed-phase and ion-exchange chromatography. It controls pH and improves peak shape for acidic and basic compounds. The high purity ensures no extraneous peaks interfere with analysis.

Metal Oxide Removal (Electronic Grade) – Electronic Grade Glacial Acetic Acid removes metal oxides from semiconductor wafers and electronic components. Its organic nature leaves no corrosive chloride or sulfate residues. The anhydrous formulation prevents water-induced damage to sensitive metal surfaces.

Titration and Wet Chemistry – Reagent glacial acetic acid serves as a standard acid for non-aqueous titrations. It is the solvent of choice for determining basic compounds that cannot be titrated in water. Consistent strength ensures reproducible endpoint detection.

Semiconductor Wafer Cleaning – In semiconductor manufacturing, electronic grade glacial acetic acid is used in certain cleaning formulations. It helps remove organic residues and metal contaminants from wafer surfaces. High purity prevents particle introduction.

Pharmaceutical Quality Control – QC laboratories test raw materials using reagent glacial acetic acid as a solvent or mobile phase component. Batch-specific documentation supports FDA and EMA inspections.

Polymer and Material Testing – Quality control labs use reagent glacial acetic acid to dissolve or swell certain polymers for viscosity and molecular weight testing. Cellulose acetate and other acetate polymers require acetic acid as the testing solvent.

Acetic Anhydride ((CH₃CO)₂O), AR/GR Grade – Related acetylating agent; organic synthesis labs may purchase both

Methanol (CH₃OH), HPLC Grade – Common HPLC mobile phase partner; analytical labs often order both

Ethyl Acetate (CH₃COOC₂H₅), AR/GR Grade – Another organic solvent; labs working with acetates may need both

Note: Reagent and electronic grades differ from technical grade. Never substitute technical grade in analytical or semiconductor work – purity will not meet requirements.

Important – Corrosive – Flammable – Fume Hood Required

Glacial acetic acid is corrosive and flammable (flash point 39°C). Use in fume hoods. Wear appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles. Store away from oxidizers and heat sources. Solidifies below 16.7°C – warm gently to liquefy. Contact us for SDS.
