64-19-7 | Acetic Acid

Chemical type

• Organic Acid

^[1]

• Carboxylic acid

^[2]

Key properties

• Component of acidic fixatives; helps dissolve lipids and enhances fixative penetration.
• Typically used at a 5% concentration in fixatives.

^[1]

• Strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding
• Forms cyclic dimers in vapor phase
• Higher coefficients of performance in heat pumps than conventional refrigerants at elevated temperatures
• Limited temperature range due to decomposition and freezing constraints
• Corrosion potential and low operating pressures

^[2]

• Component of FAE and FAEG fixative solutions.

^[1]

• Working fluid in thermodynamic cycles such as high-temperature heat pumps and Rankine cycles
• Chemical intermediate and solvent
• Mixtures with formic acid to tune properties like freezing point, boiling/condensation points, and heat capacities
