Acetic Acid

Overview

Acetic acid is a versatile raw material used in the production of chemical intermediates.

The largest end use for acetic acid is as a raw material for the production of vinyl acetate monomer (VAM).Polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and copolymers of VAM are used in the manufacture of paints, adhesives, paper coatings, textile treatments and plastics. Another important use for acetic acid is in the production of acetic anhydride. Acetic acid is used to produce a broad range of acetate esters; the most important of which are ethyl acetate, n-butyl acetate and isopropyl acetate. These solvents find applications in coatings,inks, adhesives and cosmetics.

Acetic acid is a process solvent used to produce purified terephthalic acid (PTA), which is a key intermediate for a range of applications, including polyester esters, fibers, containers, film, tapes and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

PET is used in synthetic fibers and beverage, food and plastic bottles. Acetic acid is also used in food sauces, pharmaceuticals, as an etchant in electronics fabrication and in a wide range of other industrial processes. Acetic acid can also be employed in oil and gas applications as an iron and scale control inhibitor and in oil well stimulation as an acidizer to improve flow.
