Asidi y’amaizi eshemeire (glacial acetic acid) n’amaizi agataine rangi, agarikubaasa kunywa amaizi kandi gaine obufuki bwa 16.6°C (62°F). Ku erikuba egumire, neekora ebicupuri ebitaine rangi. N’obu eraabe neeshoroorwa nk’asidi etari y’amaani kurugiirira aha bushoborozi bwayo obw’okutaana omu bishaju by’amaizi, asidi ya asetiki neesheenya, kandi omuyaga gwayo nigubaasa kushaasha amaisho n’enyindo.

Nk’ekirungo kya carboxylic asidi eyorobi, asidi ya glacial asetic n’ekintu kikuru ekirikukoresibwa omu by’emibazi. Kandi neekoresibwa omu kukora cellulose acetate ey’okuteeraho firimu, polyvinyl acetate ey’okuhamya embaaho, hamwe n’ebintu bingi ebikozirwe abantu n’ebijwaro.

Glacial acetic acid ebaire neetwarwa aheeru y’ihanga kumara emyaka mingi. Data eriho kandi hariho okukyendeeza aha mihendo y'ebintu bingi. Nyiga aha kutunga sampo za busha.
