High-purity Glacial Acetic Acid (CH₃COOH), 99.85% min — exported from Gujarat to Africa, the GCC and Asia for PET/PTA, textiles, food and pharmaceutical industries. UN-approved packaging, IMDG Class 8 + 3, third-party COA on every shipment.
Glacial Acetic Acid is a high-purity organic acid (99.85% min) — a colourless liquid with a pungent vinegar odour that solidifies below about 16.6 °C. It is a key feedstock for PET/PTA, vinyl acetate, textiles, food acidulants and pharmaceuticals. Every consignment ships with a third-party COA, GHS SDS and full IMDG documentation.
