Acetone Extra Pure is a highly volatile, flammable, and colorless liquid widely used as a powerful solvent in laboratory and industrial applications. Known for its exceptional ability to dissolve a wide range of substances, it is commonly employed for cleaning laboratory glassware, thinning resins, and removing organic residues. In the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, acetone is used in nail polish removers and formulation processes. Its high evaporation rate and purity make it suitable for analytical procedures and synthesis work, especially where contaminant-free solvents are essential. With a distinct odor and low boiling point, Acetone Extra Pure is an indispensable reagent for both routine and specialized chemical operations.
Acetone Extra Pure
Primary Uses:
- Laboratory Solvent – Commonly used as a polar aprotic solvent in organic chemistry for dissolving compounds, cleaning equipment, and preparing samples.
- Cleaning Agent – Rapidly removes grease, oils, and residues from glassware and instruments due to its volatility and effectiveness.
- Chromatography – Used as a mobile phase or solvent in thin-layer and column chromatography for organic compounds.
Secondary Uses:
- Dehydrating Agent – Occasionally used to remove water from wet samples or solvents.
- Precipitating Agent – Helps precipitate proteins and nucleic acids in biochemical labs.
- Intermediate in Synthesis – Acts as a reagent or intermediate in chemical synthesis and derivatization processes.
- Surface Preparation – Employed in surface cleaning before analytical or spectroscopic analysis.
