About Acetone

Acetone is an industrial solvent (Industrial grade) carrying the CAS registry number 67-64-1, specified at above 99% purity. Formula C3H6O, molecular weight 58.08 g/mol. Its systematic (IUPAC) name is propan-2-one. Common synonyms include 2-propanone and propanone.

It is supplied as a liquid | colourless. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is commonly used for industrial reaction medium, paints and coatings thinning, cleaning and degreasing and paints, coatings and inks. Typical end-use sectors are academic and industrial research, pharmaceutical manufacturing and paints and coatings.

Standard pack sizes are 25 kg, 50 kg, 200 kg drum and 1 MT, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
