Acetone (USP CRS) is a highly volatile, colorless organic solvent widely used in laboratories, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing for cleaning, degreasing, and as a reaction medium. Beyond the lab, acetone serves as a key intermediate for methacrylates and other chemicals, and as a solvent in paint and varnish removers, coatings, and plant and animal extractions. It meets United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Chemical Reference Substance (CRS) standards for analytical reference and calibration. This product has a CAS number of 67-64-1, with the molecular formula CH3COCH3 and a molecular weight of 58.08. It is stored at ambient conditions and marked with a Danger signal word due to its high flammability (H225). It is also classified for serious eye irritation (H319), possible drowsiness or dizziness (H336), and skin dryness or cracking on repeated exposure (EUH066). Molekula supplies Acetone USP CRS from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
