glaseerihappo

Glaseerihappo, also known as glacial acetic acid, is the anhydrous (water-free) form of acetic acid. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent odor and is highly corrosive. The name "glacial" comes from its tendency to freeze into ice-like crystals at a temperature just above room temperature, around 16.6 °C (61.9 °F). Pure acetic acid has a higher freezing point than dilute solutions.

Glaseerihappo is a strong organic acid and a common chemical reagent. It is used in a variety of industrial processes, including the production of vinyl acetate monomer, which is a precursor to polyvinyl acetate, a common polymer used in paints, adhesives, and textiles. It also finds applications in the synthesis of various chemicals, as a solvent, and in the food industry as an acidity regulator, although in its pure, concentrated form it is not intended for direct consumption. Its corrosive nature requires careful handling and appropriate safety precautions, such as protective eyewear and gloves, and it should be stored in well-ventilated areas away from incompatible materials.
