Product Overview

ACETONE 99.5% Electronic Grade is a high-purity solvent engineered for demanding laboratory and industrial applications where minimal impurities are critical. Distilled to meet stringent electronic-grade standards, this acetone ensures rapid evaporation without leaving residue, making it ideal for cleaning sensitive surfaces like printed circuit boards (PCBs), removing flux, adhesives, and contaminants from precision components. Its 99.5% purity level exceeds standard reagent-grade acetone, offering superior performance in solvent extraction, chromatography, and analytical procedures where consistency and reliability are paramount. The solvent’s low water content (<0.2%) and absence of UV-absorbing impurities make it particularly suited for optical and semiconductor applications. Unlike technical-grade acetone, this variant undergoes rigorous filtration to eliminate particulate matter, ensuring compatibility with high-sensitivity equipment. Its miscibility with water, alcohols, and most organic solvents enhances versatility in formulation work, while its volatile nature (boiling point: 56°C) enables quick drying without thermal stress on substrates. Packaged in HDPE bottles with tamper-evident seals, the product maintains stability during storage and transport, preserving its purity until use. For labs prioritizing reproducibility and contamination control, this electronic-grade acetone delivers unmatched performance in critical workflows.

FAQs

1. What is the difference between electronic-grade and reagent-grade acetone?

Electronic-grade acetone undergoes additional purification steps to remove trace metals, particles, and UV-active impurities, making it suitable for semiconductor, PCB, and optical applications. Reagent-grade acetone meets general lab standards but may contain higher levels of water or contaminants.

2. Can this acetone be used for cleaning medical devices or implants?

While it is highly pure, electronic-grade acetone is not sterilized or certified for medical use. For cleaning medical devices, use acetone specifically labeled as “medical-grade” or “sterile” and follow regulatory guidelines.

3. How should I store electronic-grade acetone to maintain its purity?

Store in a tightly sealed, original HDPE container away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and ignition points. Keep in a well-ventilated area at temperatures below 25°C. Avoid prolonged exposure to air to prevent moisture absorption.

4. Is this acetone compatible with plastic containers or tubing?

Acetone dissolves many plastics, including polystyrene, PVC, and acrylic. Use only with HDPE, PTFE, or glass containers. For tubing, opt for PTFE or stainless steel to prevent degradation.

5. What alternatives exist if I need a slower-evaporating solvent with similar properties?

For slower evaporation, consider methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or isopropyl alcohol (IPA), though these have different polarity and solubility profiles. MEK offers stronger solvency but higher toxicity, while IPA is less aggressive but evaporates more slowly.
