Product Overview
Alliance Chemical provides high-quality 75% Vinegar, a highly concentrated solution of acetic acid (CAS 64-19-7) designed specifically for industrial, agricultural, and commercial applications. Unlike standard household alternatives, which typically contain only 5% acidity, this 75% concentration is highly potent and must be handled with the utmost professional care. The molecular formula for the active component is C2H4O2, with a molecular weight of 60.05. It serves as an efficient acidulator, pH adjuster, and chemical intermediate in various demanding environments.
As a reliable Texas-based chemical supplier, we understand that industrial processes require consistency and reliability in chemical composition. Our 75% Vinegar is manufactured under strict quality controls to ensure it meets technical specifications for concentration and purity. We supply this product in multiple packaging sizes to accommodate diverse operational requirements, ranging from individual quarts to larger bulk quantities. Every order is backed by our technical support team, ensuring your facility has the information and resources required for safe operational integration.
Why This Grade
Understanding the precise concentration of your acid inputs is critical for process stability. Selecting a 75% concentration rather than a lower dilution is essential for applications requiring rapid acidification, chemical reactions, or heavy-duty scale removal without introducing excessive water into the system. Lower concentrations introduce significant volumes of unnecessary water, which can dilute active mixtures, slow reaction times, and increase freight costs due to shipping excess water weight. This specific concentration strikes a balance between extreme glacial acetic acid and highly diluted commercial products.
Choosing the wrong concentration or grade can lead to severe operational failure modes. If your process expects a 75% concentration and you introduce a weaker solution, you risk incomplete neutralization, failed chemical syntheses, and insufficient cleaning strength in industrial descaling operations. Conversely, utilizing glacial acetic acid when a 75% solution is specified can lead to dangerous runaway exothermic reactions or severe degradation of equipment. Ensuring you use this precise concentration guarantees predictable, stable results in your manufacturing and industrial maintenance workflows.

- **pH Adjustment in Wastewater**: Applied in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants to neutralize alkaline effluents and maintain strict regulatory pH levels.
- **Chemical Synthesis Intermediate**: Acts as a fundamental raw material and reactant in the synthesis of various acetates, esters, and other industrial chemical compounds.
Hazmat & Shipping
This product is classified as regulated for transport due to its corrosive nature. Our 75% Vinegar is shipped under United Nations number UN2790, with a hazard class of 8 and falls under Packing Group II. The proper shipping name is Acetic acid solution, with not less than 50 percent but not more than 80 percent acid, by mass. Because it is a hazardous material, our logistics team coordinates transport strictly in compliance with DOT regulations. The signal word for this product is Danger.
Safe handling of this product requires appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to mitigate risks associated with its GHS hazard classifications. In accordance with hazard statements H226 (flammable liquid and vapour) and H314 (causes severe skin burns and eye damage), personnel must wear chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, and face-shield or safety goggles. Ensure adequate ventilation to avoid inhaling vapors. We always recommend consulting the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided with every order to review complete handling protocols before use.
Handling & Storage
Proper storage is essential to maintain product integrity and ensure facility safety. Store 75% Vinegar in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, ideally at temperatures above its freezing point of approximately 61.9 °F to prevent crystallization, yet below its flash point of 104 °F. This corrosive acid is highly compatible with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and glass containers but is severely corrosive to metals such as mild steel, copper, and aluminum. Keep the container tightly sealed and review our acids collection for other concentrations.
