SHORT DESCRIPTION

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.

Description

USES

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.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

Wear a lab coat, nitrile gloves, and chemical safety goggles.
Use in a fume hood or well-ventilated area to avoid vapor inhalation.

Handling:

Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces – No smoking.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
Use only non-sparking tools.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Storage:

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
Keep the container tightly closed and away from ignition sources.
Ground and bond containers when transferring material.
Store away from oxidizing agents and acids.

FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:

Move the person to fresh air immediately.
If not breathing, provide artificial respiration.
Seek medical attention.

Skin Contact:

Remove contaminated clothing.
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water.
Get medical advice if irritation develops.

Eye Contact:

Rinse cautiously with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.
Seek medical attention.

Ingestion:

Do not induce vomiting.
Rinse mouth with water.
Seek immediate medical help.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability:

Highly flammable liquid and vapor.

Extinguishing Media:

Use alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide (CO₂).
Water spray may be ineffective but can cool containers.

Hazardous Combustion Products:
