Acetic Acid Extra Pure is a high-purity, clear, colorless liquid with a sharp, pungent vinegar-like odor, widely recognized for its versatility in both laboratory and industrial applications. It serves as a fundamental reagent in analytical chemistry, titration processes, and the synthesis of various organic compounds. Its excellent solvency, reactivity, and acidic properties make it essential in the production of acetates, pharmaceuticals, dyes, and polymers. In laboratory settings, it is frequently used as a solvent and a pH adjuster in buffer solutions and chemical reactions. Owing to its corrosive nature and volatility, careful handling and appropriate storage in airtight containers are necessary to preserve its quality and ensure safe usage across scientific, cosmetic, and specialty chemical formulations.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety Handling Precautions

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Wear chemical-resistant gloves (e.g., nitrile), safety goggles, face shield, and lab coat.
- Use a respirator in case of insufficient ventilation or if vapors are likely.
Handling:
- Handle under a chemical fume hood or in a well-ventilated area.
- Avoid inhalation of vapors and prevent contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
- Use only non-sparking tools and ensure proper grounding/bonding when transferring.
Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated, and corrosion-resistant area.
- Keep container tightly closed and away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
- Segregate from oxidizers, strong bases, and reducing agents.
Hygiene Measures:
- Wash hands and face thoroughly after handling.
- Remove contaminated clothing immediately and launder before reuse.

FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:
- Move person to fresh air.
- Provide oxygen if breathing is difficult.
- Seek medical attention if symptoms persist—may cause respiratory irritation.
Skin Contact:
- Immediately remove contaminated clothing.
- Rinse affected skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
- Seek medical help—acetic acid can cause burns.
Eye Contact:
- Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15–20 minutes.
- Hold eyelids apart and remove contact lenses if easy to do.
- Get immediate medical attention—acetic acid is corrosive to eyes.
Ingestion:
- Do not induce vomiting.
- Rinse mouth with water.
- Give water or milk only if conscious.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
