Versatile Industrial Applications

Acetone finds widespread use in the manufacture and processing of paints, coatings, adhesives, and cleaning agents due to its strong solvency and rapid evaporation. Its miscibility with water and organic solvents makes it essential in laboratory settings, extracting processes, and the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, acetone serves as an effective chemical intermediate in synthesizing numerous compounds.

Safe Storage and Handling Tips

Given acetones flammable nature and volatility, it must be handled in well-ventilated areas and stored in tightly closed containers. Keep it away from sources of ignition and direct sunlight. Always use chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection when handling acetone, as excessive exposure (inhalation or ingestion) can be harmful. Proper storage conditions extend shelf life up to 24 months.

Quality and Packaging

Exported, manufactured, and supplied in India, acetone is available in industrial and laboratory grades, both maintaining a minimum purity of 99.5%. Packaging includes plastic and steel drums, as well as bulk containers, to suit varying requirements. The clear, neutral pH liquid is delivered under stringent quality standards to support diverse industry demands.

FAQs of ACETONE .:

Q: How is acetone commonly used in industrial and laboratory settings?

A: Acetone acts as an effective solvent for paints, coatings, adhesives, and cleaning agents due to its rapid evaporation and compatibility with various materials. In laboratories, it is utilized for extractions, as a reagent, and in sample preparation. It is also used as a chemical intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis and in formulations like nail polish remover.

Q: What safety precautions should be taken when handling or storing acetone?

A: Due to its high volatility and flammability (flash point: -20C), acetone should be handled in well-ventilated spaces, away from heat, sparks, or open flames. Store it in tightly closed plastic or steel drums in a cool, ventilated area. Personal protective equipment such as gloves and goggles should be used to avoid skin or eye contact.

Q: Where can acetone be stored for maximum shelf life and safety?

A: Acetone should be stored in a tightly sealed container, such as plastic or steel drums, in a cool, well-ventilated space away from direct sunlight or ignition sources. Proper storage will help maintain its stability and extend its shelf life to up to 24 months.

Q: What benefits does acetone offer in cleaning and degreasing applications?

A: Acetones rapid evaporation and high solvency make it especially efficient for cleaning and degreasing surfaces and equipment. It removes residues quickly without leaving a film, making it ideal for both industrial cleaning and laboratory apparatus maintenance.

Q: Is acetone poisonous or harmful to health?

A: Acetone is not classified as poisonous; however, it can be harmful if ingested or inhaled in large quantities. Exposure may cause dizziness, drowsiness, or irritation. Working in ventilated areas and following proper safety protocols minimizes health risks.

Q: What distinguishes industrial grade acetone from laboratory grade?

A: Both industrial and laboratory grades typically meet a minimum purity of 99.5%. Laboratory grade acetone is tested for additional specifications and potential impurities, making it suitable for sensitive analytical and experimental uses, while industrial grade is intended for general manufacturing and cleaning applications.
