Acetone is the simplest and most widely used ketone solvent in industrial procurement. It is fast, powerful, and versatile. Paint manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, adhesive makers, nail care manufacturers, laboratories, and chemical processors all use acetone because it dissolves many resins and evaporates rapidly.
Supreme Petro Chemicals supplies industrial acetone from Chennai to buyers across Tamil Nadu and South India. For procurement teams, the important details are purity, packing, delivery schedule, storage controls, and documentation.
What Is Acetone?
Acetone has CAS number 67-64-1 and molecular formula C3H6O. It is a clear, low-boiling ketone solvent with a boiling point of approximately 56°C. It is fully miscible with water and mixes with most common organic solvents.
Acetone has an extremely fast evaporation rate. This makes it useful where fast drying is needed, but it also means storage and handling must control vapour exposure and fire risk.
Industrial Applications
- Paints and coatings: Used for resin dissolution, brush cleaning, spray equipment cleaning, and fast-drying solvent blends.
- Pharmaceuticals: Used in synthesis, crystallization, extraction, and cleaning where the grade is approved by the buyer's QA team.
- Adhesives: Used in contact cement systems, surface cleaning, and thinning of selected epoxy or resin systems.
- Plastics: Used for surface preparation, residue removal, and ABS bonding applications.
- Nail care manufacturing: Used in nail polish remover and related cosmetic products where the correct grade is specified.
- Laboratories: Used as a common solvent for cleaning glassware, extraction, and sample preparation.
Why Buy Acetone in Chennai?
For South Indian buyers, buying acetone in Chennai can reduce logistics cost, shorten lead times, and simplify urgent replenishment. Local stock is important because acetone is high-turnover and production teams often consume it faster than forecast during cleaning, maintenance, and batch changeover.
SPC holds buffer stock for regular industrial requirements and can coordinate packed supply from Chennai for plants in and around Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Kerala.
Packaging
Common acetone packaging includes 30 kg carboys, 160 kg drums, and ISO tank arrangements for very large volumes. The right pack depends on monthly consumption, storage approvals, transfer method, and receiving-site safety controls.
When requesting a quote, mention quantity, delivery location, packing preference, and whether your site needs batch-specific CoA or other documents.
Safety
Acetone has a flash point of approximately -20°C and is an extremely flammable Class IB liquid. Vapours can travel and ignite from distant ignition sources. Store acetone in approved flammable liquid areas with suitable ventilation.
Bulk transfer should use static dissipating equipment, earthing, bonding, and controlled pumping practices. Workers should follow the SDS and wear appropriate PPE for splash and vapour exposure risk.
