Acetic Acid
In Hungary

Acetic Acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH3COOH is available in Hungary. which when diluted is also called Glacial Acetic Acid. Acetic Acid is the main component of vinegar (apart from water), and has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. Although it is classified as a weak Acid, concentrated acetic Acid is corrosive, and attacks the skin.

Acetic Acid is one of the simplest carboxylic Acids. It is an important chemical reagent and industrial chemical, mainly used in the production of cellulose acetate mainly for photographic film and Polyvinyl Acetate for wood glue, as well as synthetic fibres and fabrics. In households, diluted acetic Acid is often used in descaling agents. In the food industry, acetic Acid is used under the food additive code E260 as an acidity regulator and as a condiment.
