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. It suits university, research, industrial and senior teaching labs running organic and analytical procedures that name acetaldehyde, always under trained supervision. As a laboratory chemicals supplier in India, Science Lab Supplies sends quotations for it from Ambala to colleges, institutes, laboratories, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The table below sets out each property of this ethanal reagent, from its CAS number to its flash point. In short, it is a colourless, low-boiling liquid with a pungent, fruity odour that becomes a gas above roughly 69 °F, and its flash point sits far below room temperature. Grade and pack size are fixed on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Acetaldehyde
Acetaldehyde is the simplest aldehyde after formaldehyde and suits methods that name it as a reagent or reference compound: organic chemistry practicals on aldehyde reactions, analytical work that specifies CAS 75-07-0, and training staff to handle volatile, flammable liquids inside a fume hood.
- B.Sc. and M.Sc. organic chemistry: identification tests and reactions of aldehydes, run under supervision in Test Tubes from a pack of 100.
- Analytical and research laboratories: methods in which acetaldehyde is the specified reagent, with test solutions added dropwise from a 60 mL Dropping Bottle.
- Class 12 chemistry: teacher-led demonstration of aldehyde tests only, never unsupervised student use.
- Safety training on volatile organics, wearing Gloves - Protective made against acids, bases and organic liquids.
Work only in a fume hood with eye protection and gloves, keep it away from heat, sparks, flames and oxidisers. 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 with a product label carrying batch and hazard information, dispatched with its Safety Data Sheet in tamper-sealed outer packaging with export documentation. The pack size and grade are stated on the quotation, and protective equipment or glassware can be added to the same quotation.
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 join 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. Organic chemistry stores can send the quantity through the contact page, place it in the enquiry cart beside other chemicals, or bid formally via the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is acetaldehyde used for in the laboratory?
It is an aldehyde reagent for organic chemistry reactions and identification tests, for analytical methods that specify CAS 75-07-0, and for 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 only the teacher should handle it, and only for demonstrations.
Who supplies the Acetaldehyde Laboratory Chemical?
Quotations come from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, stating the pack size, grade and batch details of each order, and it can dispatch the reagent for universities, colleges, contractors and distributors.
