Glacial Acrylic Acid (GAA) is a glorified version of acrylic acid, its purity exceeding 99%, while its water percentage is near 0% (<0.1-0.3%).
What is acrylic acid(AA)?
Acrylic acid(AA) by Wanhua Chemical is an acrylic acid. It is a colorless and transparent liquid, with pungent smell and corrosivity.
What is glacial acrylic acid (GAA)?

What is the difference between acrylic acid and glacial acrylic acid?
Differences Between Acrylic Acid and Glacial Acrylic Acid
| Parameter | Acrylic Acid | Glacial Acrylic Acid (GAA) |
|---|---|---|
| Chemical Formula | C₃H₄O₂ | C₃H₄O₂ |
| Purity | Typically 94–98% | ≥99.5% (industrial grade), ≥99.9% (high-purity grade) |
| Appearance | Colorless to slightly yellow liquid | Clear, colorless liquid; may solidify below 13°C |
| Freezing Point | Below 10°C | Around 13°C |
| Odor | Pungent, irritating | Pungent but slightly less due to higher purity |
| Water Content | Contains trace moisture | Extremely low moisture content |
| Applications | Used in coatings, adhesives, and intermediates | Preferred for polymerization-grade resins, SAP, and high-performance coatings |
| Storage Stability | Less stable, may contain inhibitors | More stable due to purification and inhibitor addition |
