PRODUCTS BY SEKAB
Sekab offers Bio Acetic Acid as a bio-based alternative to conventionally produced acetic acid. As a European producer, Sekab supplies Bio Acetic Acid based on bio-based ethanol to industrial customers in the European chemical and process industries. The product is chemically identical to fossil-based acetic acid but is produced from bio-based ethanol using renewable bioenergy.
Bio Acetic Acid is part of Sekab’s portfolio of bio-based chemicals, where ethanol is used as a raw material for further processing into different chemicals. Since Bio Acetic Acid has the same chemical properties as fossil-based acetic acid, it can be used in existing chemical processes without affecting product quality or technical performance.
Acetic acid is an organic base chemical and an important intermediate in many industrial processes. It is used as a raw material in a wide range of chemical value chains, where it is further processed into other chemicals and materials.
A large share of the acetic acid produced industrially is used in further chemical manufacturing and is therefore found in many products used in everyday life. Examples include plastic products, PET packaging, adhesives, shampoo, paints, solvents and pharmaceuticals.
As a chemical building block, acetic acid plays a central role in the production of polymers, solvents and other intermediates used in the chemical and manufacturing industries.
Acetic acid is used in many different chemical processes and often serves as an intermediate in further production.
One common application is in the production of vinyl acetate, which is used in the manufacture of different types of plastics and polymers. Acetic acid is also used in the production of esters, such as ethyl acetate, a solvent used in several industrial applications.
It is also used in the production of acetates and acetate fibers, materials that can be used in the next step in applications such as textiles or plastic materials.
By serving as a raw material in several different chemical processes, acetic acid is an important component in many industrial value chains.
Sekab’s Bio Acetic Acid is produced from bio-based ethanol in our chemical plant, where ethanol is used as a raw material for further production of different chemicals.
Through the further processing of bio-based ethanol, acetic acid can be produced from renewable raw materials while maintaining the same chemical properties as fossil-based alternatives. The production is powered by renewable bioenergy and is part of Sekab’s work with fossil-free chemical production on an industrial scale.
Sekab’s acetic acid is sustainability certified according to the certification body ISCC – International Sustainability & Carbon Certification. This guarantees that the chemical is produced from renewable bioethanol, using renewable energy in a circular process with advanced bio purification.

Acetic acid is used as a raw material in many chemical processes and often serves as an intermediate in further production. It is used in the production of plastic products, PET packaging, adhesives, paints, solvents, shampoo and pharmaceuticals.
Acetic acid can be produced in different ways depending on the raw material and process. At Sekab, Bio Acetic Acid is produced from bio-based ethanol in our chemical plant, where ethanol is further processed into several different chemicals.
Acetic acid is a stable chemical raw material that is often used as an intermediate in further production. It functions as a building block in several chemical processes and can be used in the production of vinyl acetate, esters and other chemicals.
Bio Acetic Acid is chemically identical to fossil-based acetic acid. The difference lies in the raw material, Bio Acetic Acid is produced from bio-based ethanol instead of fossil raw materials.
Acetic acid is a common raw material and an important intermediate chemical with a wide range of applications. A substantial part of the acetic acid that is manufactured industrially today is found in many of the everyday products that we surround ourselves with on a daily basis. Typical examples are various plastic products, PET packaging, adhesives, shampoos, paints, solvents and medicines.
As an intermediate chemical, acetic acid is used in the production of, for example, vinyl acetate, which then is converted into various forms of plastics. It is used in the manufacture of esters such as ethyl acetate which is a solvent. Acetic acid is also used as a raw material in the production of both acetate and acetate silk, which in the next step can be converted into lining fabric or spectacle frames.
Acetic acid inhibits the growth of many pathogenic bacteria, this is mainly due to the acetic acid salts which are also called acetates. Acetic acid is therefore found as a preservative or acidity regulator in foodstuffs and pickles such as pickled cucumbers.
