Additionally, glacial acetic acid may erode metals like iron, magnesium, and zinc, producing hydrogen gas and metal acetates in the process. But because aluminum is acid-resistant and develops a protective layer of aluminum oxide on its surface, aluminum tanks are a viable solution for the transportation of acetic acid. Due to their resistivity, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) drums can also be used to carry acetic acids. Tradeasia International Inc. is a great option for glacial acetic acid.
