Acetates

Acetates are a key ingredient in many everyday products, from cosmetics and cleaning supplies to textiles and food. Acetate is derived from acetic acid, and its salt or ester form helps add stability, texture and strength to products. In addition, acetates can act as an anti-fungal agent or preservative.  For example, sodium acetate is often used in the food industry as a preservative or anti-caking agent. It can be found in everything from canned goods and processed foods to pre-packaged meals and condiments like mustard. Acetate is also commonly used in the cosmetics industry due to its ability to help create smooth, creamy textures. And in the textile industry, acetate is often used to add strength and durability to fabrics. Contact us to find out more about our acetates portfolio.
