Asidi ya asetiki iitakwe maanzi (asidi ya asitiki yamumaanzi) nchintu chitakwe mubala, chilaa maanzi aajisi busena bwakutontola bwa 16.6°C (62°F). Niyakayuma, ilapanga mabwe aatakwe mubala. Nikuba kuti yabikkwa muchiinga chakuti asidi itakwe nguzu nkaambo ilakonzya kwaandaanya mumaanzi, asidi yaasidi ilakonzya kubola, mpawo busi bwayo bulakonzya kunyonganya meso ampemo.

Mbuli carboxylic acid, glacial acetic acid nchintu chiyandikana loko. Alimwi lilabelesyegwa mukupanga cellulose acetate yakupanga filimu yakufotola, polyvinyl acetate yakupanga zintu zyakunamatizya zisamu, antoomwe azintu zyiingi zyakupanga azyakusama.

Asidi ya glacial acetic yakaba sikusambala kunze aacisi kwamyaka myiingi. Data ilajanika mpawo kuli kugwisigwa kwamiulo yazyintu zyiingi. Dina aawa kuti ujane zikozyanyo zyakuula.
