Acetone

Product Code : SCL-LC-12196

The Acetone Lab Reagent is a volatile organic solvent used in authorised chemistry, analytical, teaching and research laboratories for cleaning, rinsing, extraction and method-specific solvent work. It is suitable for trained laboratory users, supervised school labs, colleges, universities, analytical labs, distributors and procurement buyers requiring documented solvent supply.

Product Description

Acetone from Science Lab Supplies is positioned as a laboratory solvent for controlled institutional use. The supplied product name confirms acetone as the chemical identity, but pack size, assay, grade, batch number, SDS and Certificate of Analysis must be verified before final catalogue publication.

Acetone is also known as propanone, 2-propanone or dimethyl ketone. It has the formula C₃H₆O, or (CH₃)₂CO. Because acetone is highly volatile and flammable, it must be stored and used with proper ventilation, ignition-source control and SDS-led handling.

Key Features

• Defined chemical identity: acetone .
• Organic solvent use: suitable for approved chemistry and analytical laboratory procedures.
• Fast evaporation: useful for controlled rinsing and drying applications where permitted.
• Pack size to confirm: bottle volume or net quantity must be checked before publication.
• Grade to confirm: do not claim LR, AR, ACS, HPLC or spectroscopy grade without COA.
• Flammable-liquid control: requires compatible storage away from sparks, flames and heat.
• SDS-led handling: use with ventilation, PPE and approved organic-solvent waste controls.

How to Use the Acetone

1. Verify the label, grade, purity, batch number, expiry date and SDS before use.
2. Use only in a ventilated laboratory area or fume hood as required by the SDS.
3. Wear suitable PPE, including gloves, eye protection and a lab coat.
4. Keep the bottle away from flames, sparks, hot surfaces and oxidising chemicals.
5. Dispense only the minimum required volume using compatible glassware or solvent-safe equipment.
6. Use acetone only according to the approved laboratory method.
7. Close the container immediately after dispensing to reduce vapour release.
8. Collect residues as flammable organic-solvent waste according to local rules.

Safety note: Acetone Lab Reagent is highly flammable and volatile. Avoid inhalation, ingestion, skin contact and eye contact. Do not use for food, cosmetic, medical, household, fuel or unauthorised industrial purposes unless grade and regulatory status are specifically verified.

Care & Maintenance

• Store tightly closed in a clearly labelled flammable-liquid storage area.
• Keep away from heat, sparks, flames, oxidisers and incompatible materials.
• Use secondary containment where required by the laboratory safety plan.
• Do not use if the bottle is leaking, unlabelled, contaminated, expired or stored outside approved controls.
