Acetone in Bulk

Acetone is the fastest-evaporating of the common ketone solvents and dissolves almost everything organic, which is why it turns up in everything from resin cleaning to pharmaceutical crystallisation. It is fully miscible with water, so it also works where a solvent has to be washed out afterwards. BulkFineChem supplies industrial and pharmaceutical grades to coatings manufacturers, pharmaceutical units, laboratories and distributors across India.

Specification

Purity, water content and non-volatile matter are stated on the batch Certificate of Analysis.

• CAS No. 67-64-1
• HSN Code 29141100
• Purity 99.5 percent minimum
• Appearance: clear colourless volatile liquid
• Packing: 160 kg MS drums, IBC or road tanker

Applications

Its very high evaporation rate is an advantage in cleaning and a drawback in coatings, where it is usually blended with slower solvents.

• Resin, adhesive and equipment cleaning
• Coatings, thinners and nail care formulations
• Crystallisation and purification in pharmaceutical manufacture
• Degreasing in electronics and precision engineering
• Carrier solvent for acetylene storage

Safety, Handling and Compliance

Acetone is extremely flammable with a very wide flammable range, and it is a scheduled precursor in India requiring end-use documentation.

• Flash point around minus 20 degrees C; vapour travels and can flash back
• Store in a cool, well-ventilated, earthed flammables store
• End-use declaration required under precursor control rules
• Use bonding and grounding during transfer; avoid plastic containers
• SDS issued on request

Ordering

Pricing is quoted against grade, packing and delivery location. Send an enquiry with your application and volume.

• Minimum order quantity 200 litres
• GST tax invoice on every order
• Batch-wise Certificate of Analysis with each dispatch
• TDS and SDS available on request
• Transport by approved flammable goods carrier with TREM card

FAQs

Questions buyers commonly ask about acetone.

• Industrial or pharma grade? Pharma grade meets IP or BP limits; industrial suits cleaning and coatings.
• Why is my coating blushing? Acetone evaporates so fast it chills the surface and pulls in moisture; blend with a slower solvent.
• Is an end-use declaration needed? Yes, it is a controlled precursor and documentation is required.
• Can I get a sample? Yes, trial quantities can be arranged.
• What documents are provided? GST invoice, batch CoA, SDS and TREM card.
