Acetic Acid Food Grade 99% for Hydroponic Sanitation
This food-grade 99% acetic acid (glacial) delivers consistent, high-purity performance for descaling, reservoir cleaning, and line sanitation in professional grow rooms and food-processing environments. As the main component of vinegar, this concentrated E260 acidity regulator is a trusted choice for restoring equipment efficiency by dissolving mineral scale and biofilm.
Benefits for Growers & Facility Ops
Glacial acetic acid helps maintain pumps, emitters, and irrigation lines, improving flow rates and reducing downtime. Its predictable behavior in solution supports SOP-friendly cleaning cycles and rinse-out procedures. Use diluted as a descaling agent on tanks, coils, and wetted surfaces to keep systems reliable across hydroponics and controlled-environment agriculture.
Composition & Uses
Contains 99% acetic acid (CH₃COOH) with the distinctive sour profile associated with vinegar concentrate. Common uses include descaling, cleaning stainless lines, CIP pre-rinse steps, odor control in process drains, and general sanitation where a weak acid is appropriate. Always follow site PPE, proper dilution, and local handling regulations for corrosive concentrates.
Where to use
-
Powerful descaling: removes mineral buildup in reservoirs, emitters, and lines.
-
Sanitation support: aids cleaning protocols to reduce biofilm and odors.
-
Food-grade (E260): suitable where food-processing compatibility is required.
-
Predictable dilution: mixes readily for CIP, soak, or wipe-down steps.
-
Bulk value: 55-gallon drum streamlines facility-scale maintenance.
