The distinction between cellulose acetate and acetic acid
In the field of chemical industry, cellulose acetate and acetic acid are both unique in appearance and substance, and they are also different in use.

Acetic acid has the general nature of acid, its taste is sour, its color is clear and pure, and it is often liquid. Active, it is used in chemical compounds, flavoring, and medical affairs. For chemical compounds, it can be used as raw materials and synthesized with alcohols into esters to form flavors and solvents; for seasoning, it can be added in appropriate amounts to food to increase its sour taste; for medical affairs, it can make disinfection and antiseptic agents to protect health.

Cellulose acetate is a polymer compound. Its shape is either powdery or fibrous, light and strong, with good toughness and corrosion resistance. Commonly found in textiles, made into fabrics, soft to the touch, elegant luster, comfortable to wear; in the field of plastics, into plastic products, such as eyeglass frames, light and beautiful, and wear-resistant and durable; also used in filter materials, because of their porous structure, can filter out impurities and keep fluids pure.

Compared with the two, acetic acid is a small molecule, active and changeable; cellulose acetate is a polymer, stable and characteristic. Those who use acetic acid, take its chemical activity; those who use cellulose acetate, pay attention to its physical characteristics. Only by understanding their differences can they each apply their strengths and make the best use of them, among the hundred professions, each will show its style, benefit the country and the people, and make great contributions.
