Product Overview

ACETIC ACID 30% Extra Pure is a diluted, high-clarity solution designed for laboratory environments where controlled acidity is critical. This extra pure grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for applications requiring consistent results without interference from contaminants. The 30% concentration provides a balanced strength—strong enough for effective reactions yet safe for routine handling with standard precautions. Its clear, colorless appearance allows easy visual monitoring during experiments, while the stable formulation prevents rapid degradation under typical lab storage conditions. The product is packaged in a leak-resistant container to maintain purity and prevent accidental spills. Compatible with most glassware and standard lab equipment, this acetic acid solution integrates seamlessly into existing workflows without requiring specialized handling beyond basic acid safety protocols. The extra pure designation guarantees adherence to strict quality benchmarks, reducing variability in experimental outcomes.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of this 30% acetic acid solution?

When stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture, the solution remains stable for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.

2. Can this acetic acid be used with plastic labware?

While it is compatible with most borosilicate glass and PTFE-coated equipment, prolonged exposure may degrade certain plastics like polystyrene or low-density polyethylene. Always verify material compatibility before use.

3. How does this compare to glacial acetic acid?

This 30% solution is pre-diluted for convenience, whereas glacial acetic acid is 99%+ pure. The diluted form reduces fume generation and simplifies handling for applications not requiring high concentrations.

4. What precautions should be taken during storage?

Store in a well-ventilated area, upright with the cap tightly closed. Keep away from oxidizing agents, bases, and metals to prevent reactions. Use secondary containment for larger quantities.

5. Is this product tested for heavy metal contamination?

The extra pure grade undergoes rigorous testing to ensure heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and mercury are below detectable limits, typically under 1 ppm for most regulated metals.
