Acetic Acid AR

Acetic Acid AR suitable for laboratory and industrial applications.

Acetic Acid AR is supplied for professional laboratory, industrial, and commercial use. It is commonly applied in chemical processing, research, manufacturing, and formulation work where consistent quality and reliable performance are required. The product is handled and packaged to maintain stability and integrity during storage and transport.

Acetic Acid Analytical Reagent (AR) is a high-purity (typically >99.5-100% or “glacial”) grade of carboxylic acid (
