Acetic Anhydride is an important organic chemical raw material, it is mainly applied in manufacturing cellulose acetate, among which cellulose diacetate is used to make cigarette filter tips and plastics, and cellulose triacetate as raw material to make high-grade light sensing film. Acetic Anhydride can also be used in pharmaceuticals、dyestuff、agricultural chemicals、military、perfume industries and metal buffing etc.

    World-advanced new process, carbonylation process, was developed by our own technician to manufacture Acetic Anhydride with the annual capacity of 80,000MT. The product quality conforms to China national standard GB/T10668-2000.

        The standard for excellent grade product will be implemented as our company’s internal quality control standard.       
         Upon special request by customer, we can provide 99.5%min. or even 99.9%min. high purity product.
