Description

Acetone CAS NO 67-64-1 is a clear, colorless, and highly volatile organic solvent, also known as propanone. It is one of the most important and widely used ketones in industrial and laboratory settings due to its excellent solvency power and miscibility with water. This essential chemical is a critical raw material and processing agent for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, coatings, plastics, and electronics industries.

Application

• Solvent for Resins, Plastics, and Coatings: A primary solvent for cellulose acetate, acrylics, epoxies, and vinyl resins in paints, varnishes, and adhesives.
• Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Manufacturing: Used as a process solvent in the synthesis of various drugs and as a carrier in cosmetic formulations.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: A key starting material for the production of methyl methacrylate (MMA), bisphenol-A (BPA), and other important chemicals.
• Laboratory and Analytical Reagent: A common solvent for cleaning glassware, extraction, and chromatography in research and quality control laboratories.
• Electronics Cleaning Agent: Used for precision cleaning and degreasing of electronic components and surfaces due to its fast evaporation and low residue.
• Acetylene Cylinder Stabilizer: Employed to safely dissolve and store acetylene gas in pressurized cylinders.

Quality Control

Our Acetone is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. We offer various grades, including industrial and high-purity, which can be tailored to meet specific application requirements. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as purity, water content, and acidity are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain purity. Store away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers and bases.
