Acetic Acid Production Cost Reports

Acetic Acid production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Acetic Acid production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Acetic Acid. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Acetic acid with the chemical formula (CH3COOH), also known as ethanoic acid, is among the most vital and simplest carboxylic acids. It is a by-product of fermentation, resulting in an odour that is similar to that of vinegar.

Acetic acid has various properties, such as being antibacterial and antifungal. It is very corrosive, with a pungent smell and a sour taste. It has the role of a protic solvent, a food acidity regulator, an antimicrobial food preservative, and a Daphnia magna metabolite. Its molecular weight is 60.052 g/mol, and its density is 1.05 g/cm³. Its boiling, and melting point is 118 °C and 16.6 °C respectively.

The Acetic acid market is propelling owing to its use as a crucial chemical reagent and industrial chemical used for producing products like plastic soft drink bottles, polyvinyl acetate for wood glue, photographic film, and many synthetic fibres and fabrics. As a diluted acetic acid, it can be used as a cleaning agent. In the food sector, it can be used to regulate acidity, as well as in vinegar which is used to prepare many food items.

It also finds use as a weed killer in gardening, thereby furthering the market growth. In its  99.5 percent concentration, acetic acid is referred to as glacial acetic acid, which has various uses as a raw material in the production of other chemical products like vinyl acetate, acetic anhydride and acetate esters which furthers the market expansion. It also has several applications as a polar, protic solvent.

Other products that employ the acid include polyvinyl acetate, a polymer used in plastics, adhesives, paints, and textile finishes, to manufacture cellulose acetate fibres and plastics for clothing, photographic film, and coatings; as a hydrophilic solvent for reducing metal corrosion and scale build-up in oil and gas well applications, for producing vitamins, antibiotics, hormones and other products. Hence, owing to all these applications of the product is furthering the market expansion.
