White vinegar = acetic acid? ( non brewed condiment )

ktpie

I used to use acetic acid at work and would not consider using it without a fume hood, I really wouldn't fancy trying to dilute it myself at home, even outside the smell will be overpowering, it really makes your eyes water. Also I would want some safety equipment, goggles and gloves at least.

Having experience of handling acids I wouldn't go down this route to get cheap white vinegar, it would be too much hassle and diluting it yourself at home would be fairly nasty and potentially dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. Can't white vinegar be bulk bought at cash and carry places and the like? I'm sure I've read that on here. Would be a lot easier.

Hi everyone

I would like to find out a bit more about white vinegar, i was wondering if a company sold white vinegar at higher strengths, say at 10% or 15% acidity. I want to use it to make a weed killer, i cannot use retail weed killers as it has glyphosate in it which is harmful to aquatic life & live at a property where all rain water runs into a pond and a lake.

I do not want to buy acetic acid & dilute it myself, does anyone know of any companies that sell 10% or 15% white vinegar.

Any help greatly appreciated
