    Glacial acetic acid glacial is a colourless liquid that absorbs water from the air and freezes to a colourless crystalline solid at 16.7 degrees Celsius. It’s used as raw material and as a solvent in the production of various chemical products. Upon freezing, the acid forms needle-shaped crystals, which is where the acid gets its name from.

    Used in household vinegar

    Vinegar is a clear solution generally containing about 5% acetic acid and 95% water, often used in food preparation, cleaning and gardening.

    In its diluted form, glacial acetic acid can be used in preserves and in pickles of vegetables. Marinating meat with acetic acid kills the bacteria and tenderises it.

    When boiling eggs you can add two teaspoons of glacial acetic acid to the water before boiling to help prevent the eggs from cracking. This can also allow you to peel off the egg shells more quicklyr and easily
