1000L IBC Acetic Acid
The VARIBOX Full Containment or Single Containment 1000L IBC (Intermediate Bulk Containers) are well known for the safe storage and transport of all concentrations of Acetic acid. In many different markets and applications, the containers of VARIBOX are well known for the safe storage and transport of Acetic acid. Confirm suitability for the exact acetic acid concentration and operating conditions before use. The formula for Acetic acid is CH3COOH and you can find it in the ADR under UN 2789 or UN 2790. The advised version of the VARIBOX for this chemical is EPDM.


1000L IBC Acetic Acid
Acetic acid is a widely used completely colorless chemical substance. Many customers and users rely on our VARIBOX IBCs for the safe storage and transport of this dangerous good. Did you know that acetic acid is also known as ethanoic acid? And that this chemical is the most significant of all the carboxylic acids. By being part of the type of acid, acetic acid can be classified as an organic acid.
Usage of Ethanoic acid in reusable IBCs
1000L IBC Acetic Acid or Ethanoic acid (Intermediate Bulk Containers) is becoming more and more important. By reusing our containers, users and distributors are helping to protect the environment. Did you know that this ethanoic acid is also packed in reusable IBCs in the food and beverage industry? These days in this industry reusability is becoming the new standard. Next to the food industry, we see that reusing containers for acetic acid is becoming familiar in other sectors such as cleaning and the production of coatings and adhesives.


Acetic acid flash point and concentration
Concentrated or glacial acetic acid has a flash point of about 39°C (103°F). More dilute aqueous solutions behave differently, so fire precautions and transport requirements must be based on the exact concentration and current SDS. Confirm any electrostatic-discharge controls and IBC configuration for the specific product before use.
Use EPDM for Acetic acid
Viton seals are not suitable in combination with Acetic acid: the Viton material will crumble when in contact with Acetic acid! Always choose the EPDM version for the safe use of your VARIBOX 1000L IBC Acetic Acid. The most important numbers for this chemical substance are:
- Formula CH3OOH
- CAS number 64-19-7
- UN number 2789 or 2790
- ADR class 8
- ADR Packaging Group II
