Acetic Acid is a synthetic carboxylic acid with antibacterial and antifungal properties. Although its mechanism of action is not fully known, undissociated acetic acid may enhance lipid solubility allowing increased fatty acid accumulation on the cell membrane or in other cell wall structures. Acetic acid, as a weak acid, can inhibit carbohydrate metabolism resulting in subsequent death of the organism.
Used as a solvent of cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate, as raw material of DMF.
Used as a curing agent in phenolic resin.
As fumigant for fruit, and all kinds of tobacco.
