Acetone (propanone) is a highly versatile, colorless, volatile organic solvent widely used in laboratories, manufacturing, and cleaning applications, including nail polish remover, adhesives, and as a reagent in chemical synthesis. It is also a key component in the production of plastics, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. This product meets a minimum purity of 99.5% acetone (CAS 67-64-1), with the molecular formula CH3COCH3 and a molecular weight of 58.08 g/mol. It is stored at ambient conditions but requires proper ventilation due to its flammability and toxicity. The signal word is *Danger*, indicating severe hazards, including irritant and flammable properties. Molekula supplies acetone from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
