Acetic Acid Used in Coating Industry
● Polyvinyl acetate (PVAC): Polymerised from vinyl acetate; a key film-former in water-based emulsions, architectural paints and adhesives.
● Cellulose acetate: Used in specialty varnishes, photographic film coatings and rayon; offers high transparency and weather resistance.
Acetic Acid Used in Rubber Industry
Acetic acid serves as a key precursor to vinyl acetate, which is polymerised to PVAc or copolymerised with ethylene to produce EVA-widely used in rubber modification, adhesive formulations, and thermoplastic elastomers.
Acetic Acid Used in Food Industry
● Flavouring & pH control: Acidulant for tartness and pH balance in vinegars, sauces, and beverages.
● Preservation: Lowers pH to inhibit microbes; used in pickles, sauerkraut, and canned foods.
● Processing aid: Leavening in baking; tenderising and colour enhancement in meat products.
Acetic Acid Used in Household
At home, acetic acid can dissolve limescale, inhibit surface bacteria, remove soap scum, care for fabrics, and adjust soil pH in gardening.
Acetic Acid Used in Cosmetics Industry
Acetic acid Used as mild pH adjuster in diluted cosmetic formulations only; undiluted glacial acetic acid is corrosive and cannot be added directly to skincare products.
Acetic Acid Used in Cosmetics Medicine Industry
Applications of acetic acid in the pharmaceutical industry fall into three categories: salt-forming raw material, pharmaceutical excipient and processing medium, and auxiliary agent for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
