Product Code : SCL-LC-12196
Acetone (SKU SCL-LC-12196), also called propanone or dimethyl ketone, is a volatile, highly flammable organic solvent for rinsing and drying compatible glassware, extraction, sample preparation and ketone chemistry. It suits supervised school labs, college practicals and analytical laboratories with ventilation and flammable-liquid storage. Bottles are quoted and sent out by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, research labs and distributors.
Specifications
Every acetone detail, from its three names to the waste route, has a row in the table below. In short, it is a liquid with the formula C3H6O, written structurally as (CH3)2CO, of about 58.08 g/mol, which evaporates quickly and ignites easily; grade, purity and bottle volume appear on the label and your quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Acetone
Acetone can serve as a fast-drying rinse for compatible glassware and as a solvent in organic and analytical methods that specify it. In teaching it represents the simplest ketone, and its quick evaporation lets students observe volatility under supervision in a ventilated room.
- Class 12 chemistry: acetone as the simplest ketone in aldehyde and ketone practicals.
- Rinsing and drying compatible glassware, dispensed from a 500 ml Plastic Washing Bottle (Pisetta) whose screw-top limits solvent evaporation.
- B.Sc. organic chemistry: solvent for extraction and washing steps in a Separating Funnel Squibb Shape, offered from 50 to 2000 ml.
- Sample preparation where an analytical method specifies acetone.
Standard Scope of Supply
Supplied as the acetone container in the volume quoted, labelled with batch, grade, purity and hazard information, together with the Safety Data Sheet and outer packaging with a tamper seal and export documents. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You may request one bottle or a larger solvent stock for several labs; the quotation sets out packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Because acetone is a flammable liquid, the quotation also confirms how it will be packed and transported, and other solvents can be listed alongside.
Science Lab Supplies has an Importer-Exporter Code, which lets it ship to buyers in Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia and Rwanda. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Solvent requests reach the team through the contact page or a list built in the enquiry cart, while bid-based purchases follow the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is acetone flammable?
Yes. It is highly flammable and volatile. Use it in a ventilated room or fume hood, keep it away from flames, sparks, hot plates and oxidisers, and close the bottle straight after dispensing.
Can schools use acetone?
Yes, in school and college laboratories under trained supervision, with ventilation, gloves, eye protection, flammable-liquid storage and the current Safety Data Sheet at hand. Collect residues as flammable organic-solvent waste.
Who supplies the Acetone?
Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India working from Ambala, prepares the quotation and states grade, volume and batch for each school, college or distributor order of this solvent.
What is the CAS number of acetone?
Acetone carries CAS 67-64-1, with the formula C3H6O and a molecular weight of about 58.08 g/mol. Confirm the number on the Safety Data Sheet that comes with your batch.
