Acetic Acid Supplier – Industrial & Food Grade CH₃COOH
CAS: 64-19-7
High-quality acetic acid for industrial, food, and water treatment applications. Available in glacial and solution grades with bulk supply across South Africa.
Acetic Acid Supplier in South Africa
Acetic acid is a versatile organic acid widely used in industrial processes, food production, chemical synthesis, and water treatment. Known for its sharp, pungent smell and high reactivity, acetic acid is an essential raw material in multiple sectors.
BRF SA supplies industrial and food-grade acetic acid in various concentrations, including glacial acetic acid (≥99%) and diluted solution grades suitable for manufacturing, processing, and formulation.
What Is Acetic Acid?
Acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is a clear, colourless liquid organic acid with a distinct sour smell. It’s the main component of vinegar (around 4–8% concentration), but commercial grades can range from low-strength solutions to glacial (≥99%) purity for industrial and chemical applications.
Acetic acid influences:
- pH levels
- Chemical reactions
- Esterification
- Solvent behaviour
Industrial Applications
Food & Beverage Processing
Used as a flavouring agent and preservative in food products such as pickles, sauces, and condiments.
Chemical Manufacturing
Essential in the production of:
- Vinyl acetate monomer
- Acetate esters
- Solvents and coatings
Water Treatment & pH Control
Used to adjust pH and support industrial water treatment processes.
Cleaning & Descaling
Diluted acetic acid solutions are used in industrial descaling and cleaning due to their acid strength.
