Acetone (Propanone)
Product Overview & Quality
- Product Name: Acetone (Propanone)
- Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade), featuring ultra-high purity ( 99.8%). Packed in 2.5 L glass bottles. Known for its high volatility and exceptionally low non-volatile residue.
- Physical Properties: Clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic pungent, sweetish odor. Miscible with water and most organic solvents.
- Key Use: A versatile solvent for organic synthesis, extraction, and cleaning laboratory glassware (due to its fast evaporation). Also used as a mobile phase in chromatography and a reagent in chemical assays.
Safety & Hazards
- Classification: Highly Flammable Liquid (Category 2). Causes serious eye irritation.
- Health Risks: Vapors may cause drowsiness or dizziness (STOT SE 3). Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dryness and cracking (defatting).
- First Aid Measures: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Move the victim to fresh air if vapors are inhaled.
Handling & Storage
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep strictly away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces. Use explosion-proof storage cabinets.
- Precautions: Wear standard PPE, including chemical-resistant gloves and safety goggles. Ensure proper grounding to prevent static discharge during transfer, as acetone has a very low flash point.
