in Singapore

We offer acetic acid that is widely used in textile and food industry in Singapore. Acetic acid is a clear liquid that has a pungent odor. It is free from water and is highly corrosive in nature. In addition, it is formulated and tested in adherence with international standards.

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. As a food additive it is approved for usage in the EU,
