Trupti Chemicals

We source and supply quality acetic acid which is considered as the simplest carboxylic acid next to formic acid in which a single hydrogen atom is attached to the carboxyl group. Acetic acid is a clear, corrosive, flammable liquid, melting point 16.6 C, boiling point 118 C. Pure acetic acid freezes in ice-like crystal form. Acetic acid is used as an acidulant in a wide range of applications from electroplating to textiles finishing operation. Acetic acid is also used in the manufacturing of materials used in the pharmaceuticals, foods, cosmetics and colorant chemical fields including sorbic acid, dyestuffs and pigments, vitamins, antibiotics, rubber chemicals and flavor & fragrance

Our range of Acetic Acid finds applications in the following:

Vinyl Acetate Monomer

Vinyl acetate is polymerized to polyvinyl acetate by itself and to other copolymers with other monomers. Acetate polymers are important resins used in paints, adhesives, plastics and textile finishes.




Solvent

Acetic acid is used as a solvent in the production of terephthalic acid from p-xylene.

Esters

Considerable quantities of acetic acid are used to manufacture esters such as ethyl and butyl acetate. Acetate esters demonstrate good solvency for many natural and synthetic resins. They are general purpose solvents which are applied commonly in lacquer thinners, wood lacquers and a wide variety of coatings, plasticizer and pharmaceutical fields.

Chloroacetic Acid

The stronger acid (chloroacetic acid) is manufactured from acetic acid by reaction with chlorine. Chloroacetic acid reacts with alkali cellulose to produce carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Chloroacetic acid is the parent material for the production of a series of phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid.
