Acetone, ACS Reagent Grade - RSOA0010-500C

Description

• Key Performance Benefit: Acetone is a polar, aprotic organic solvent. It is a colorless and highly volatile liquid used as a solvent and/or building block in organic syntheses, in pharmaceutical and personal care industries. This grade meets ACS requirements, making it suitable for a wide range of analytical applications.
• Material & Construction: Supplied in neat liquid format. Assay ≥99.5%. Meets or exceeds the standards of the American Chemical Society (ACS). Designed for consistency to deliver replicable and publishable results.
• Risk Reduction/Compliance Benefit: Impurities controlled to: ≤0.0003 meq/g titratable acid, ≤0.0006 meq/g titratable base, ≤0.002% aldehyde as formaldehyde, ≤0.05% isopropanol, ≤0.05% methanol, ≤0.5% water. Evaporation residue ≤0.001%. Meets ACS reagent grade standards for chemical analyses and reactions.
• Protection Level: Explosive limit: 13.2% | Vapor pressure: 184 mmHg (20 °C) | pH: 5–6 (20 °C, 395 g/L)
• Comfort & Usability: Suitable for UV/Vis spectroscopy. Used in routine chemical synthesis, drying, purification, and critical labware cleaning. Pure-Pac® II containers require the Micromatic MacroValve coupler (Z560723) for dispensing solvents.
• Safety & Compliance Assurance: Grade: ACS Reagent | Suitable for EPA 1613 | Quality Level: 200 | Recommended retest period: 2 years
