I-asidi ye-acetic ecocekileyo engenamanzi (i-asidi ye-glacial acetic) lulwelo olungenambala, oluyi-hygroscopic oluneqondo lokubanda eliyi-16.6°C (62°F). Xa iqina, yenza iikristale ezingenambala. Nangona ihlelwa njenge-asidi ebuthathaka ngokusekelwe kubuchule bayo bokuhlukana kwizisombululo zamanzi, i-asidi ye-acetic iyatsha, kwaye umphunga wayo unokucaphukisa amehlo kunye nempumlo.

Njenge-asidi ye-carboxylic elula, i-glacial acetic acid yi-reagent ebalulekileyo yekhemikhali. Ikwasetyenziswa ekuveliseni i-cellulose acetate kwifilimu yefoto, i-polyvinyl acetate kwizincamathelisi zomthi, kunye neefayibha ezininzi zokwenziwa kunye namalaphu.

I-glacial acetic acid ibingumthengisi ngaphandle iminyaka emininzi. Idatha iyafumaneka kwaye kukho izaphulelo zamaxabiso xa zininzi. Cofa apha ukuze ufumane iisampulu zasimahla.
