Packaging and shipping
Acetone, also known as dimethyl ketone, is the simplest saturated ketone. As a colorless, transparent, volatile liquid with a distinctive odor, it possesses excellent solubility, extremely fast drying speed and high reactivity. As a result, it has become one of the most widely used organic solvents in industrial production and laboratories, and is also a key intermediate for synthesizing numerous high-value-added chemicals.




Product Description
Anhui Eapearl Chemical Co., Ltd., as a professional domestic supplier of chemical raw materials, is dedicated to providing customers with stable and reliable basic chemicals. Currently, we are steadily supplying acetone (Acetone) to the market. This is a widely used, highly soluble, and rapidly evaporating basic ketone solvent and an important chemical raw material. It plays an indispensable role in numerous fields such as coatings, medicine, electronics, and chemical synthesis.
Product Introduction
Outstanding solubility: It has extremely strong solubility for various organic substances such as resins, oils, waxes, rubber, and cellulose acetate, making it an efficient general solvent.
Very fast evaporation rate: The low boiling point results in an extremely fast drying speed, significantly improving production efficiency, especially suitable for processes requiring rapid drying.
High reactivity: As the simplest ketone, it is a key intermediate for synthesizing numerous important chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), isopropanol, and MIBK (methyl isobutyl ketone).
High purity and stability: The industrial-grade product has high purity and relatively active chemical properties but is stable, meeting the needs of most industrial applications.
Solvent field:
Coatings, inks and adhesives: As a fast-drying solvent, it is used for diluting nitrocellulose paints, acrylic paints, inks and adhesives and regulating the drying speed.
Industrial and electronic cleaning: It efficiently removes oils, fluxes, and residual glue, widely used in metal degreasing, precision electronic component and circuit board cleaning.
Pharmaceuticals and cosmetics: It is used as a solvent for drug extraction, a key intermediate for synthesis, and a main component of personal care products such as nail polish removers.
Chemical synthesis field:
Bisphenol A (BPA): Acetone is the core raw material for producing bisphenol A, which is used to manufacture polycarbonate (PC) and epoxy resins.
Methyl methacrylate (MMA): MMA is produced through the acetone cyanohydrin process, and then used to manufacture organic glass (PMMA).
