Product Code : SCL-LC-12165
Acetaldehyde Laboratory Chemical (SKU SCL-LC-12165), also called ethanal, is a volatile, highly flammable aldehyde reagent for authorised chemistry laboratories. Universities, research and industrial labs and senior teaching labs use it in organic and analytical procedures where acetaldehyde is specified, always under trained supervision. Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India, dispatches it from Ambala to colleges, institutes, laboratories, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Acetaldehyde is a colourless, low-boiling liquid with a pungent, fruity odour; above roughly 69 °F (about 21 °C) it becomes a gas. Its flash point is far below room temperature, so it is classed as highly flammable. Grade and pack size are confirmed on the quotation for the batch you are offered.

Applications and Experiments for Acetaldehyde
Acetaldehyde is the simplest aldehyde after formaldehyde and is used where a method names it as a reagent or reference compound. Typical settings are organic chemistry practicals on aldehyde reactions, analytical work that specifies CAS 75-07-0, and training staff to handle volatile flammable liquids in a fume hood.
- B.Sc. and M.Sc. organic chemistry: identification tests and reactions of aldehydes, run under supervision.
- Analytical and research laboratories: methods in which acetaldehyde is the specified reagent.
- Class 12 chemistry: teacher-led demonstration of aldehyde tests only, never unsupervised student use.
- Laboratory safety training on volatile, flammable organic chemicals.
Work only in a fume hood with eye protection and gloves, keep it away from heat, sparks, flames and oxidisers, and store it in a flammable-chemicals cabinet. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each order is a sealed container of acetaldehyde carrying a product label with batch and hazard information, supplied with its Safety Data Sheet in outer packing. The pack size and grade are stated on the quotation. Fume hoods, protective equipment and storage cabinets are not included.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for a single bottle or a stock quantity for a department; the quotation gives the pack size, packing, delivery time and price for what you request. Because acetaldehyde is a flammable chemical, packing and transport follow the rules for hazardous goods, and other reagents can be added to the same quotation.
As a registered exporter holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania, subject to the carriage rules for flammable goods.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is acetaldehyde used for in the laboratory?
It is an aldehyde reagent used in organic chemistry reactions and identification tests, in analytical methods that specify CAS 75-07-0, and in supervised research work in authorised laboratories.
Is acetaldehyde hazardous?
Yes. It is highly flammable, with a flash point of about -36 °F, and its vapour should not be inhaled. Handle it only in a fume hood, with PPE, away from ignition sources and under trained supervision.
Can students use it in a school lab?
Not unsupervised. It suits authorised laboratories with trained staff, fume-hood access and flammable storage; in schools it should only be handled by the teacher for demonstrations.
Who supplies the Acetaldehyde Laboratory Chemical?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, quoting pack size and batch details directly to universities, research labs, colleges, contractors and distributors.
Related Laboratory Chemicals
