Product Overview

This 99.8% extra dry acetone from AcroSeal® delivers exceptional purity with minimal moisture content, ensuring consistent performance in sensitive laboratory applications. The AcroSeal® packaging maintains solvent integrity by preventing atmospheric contamination and evaporation, extending shelf life while preserving quality. Its high volatility and solvent power make it ideal for precise extractions, equipment cleaning, and chromatographic separations where trace impurities could compromise results. The extra dry grade eliminates water interference in reactions, providing reliable baseline performance for analytical procedures. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to meet strict purity specifications, with residual water content maintained below industry standards. The solvent’s low UV absorbance and minimal residue formation further enhance its suitability for spectroscopic and preparative applications. Compatible with most lab-grade materials, this acetone offers a balance of purity, stability, and practical handling characteristics for demanding research environments.

FAQs

1. What makes extra dry acetone different from regular acetone?

Extra dry acetone undergoes additional purification to reduce water content below 0.01%, eliminating moisture-related interference in sensitive applications. The AcroSeal® packaging further prevents reabsorption of atmospheric moisture during storage.

2. Can this acetone be used with plastic labware?

While compatible with many lab plastics like PP and PTFE, it may dissolve polystyrene and some acrylic materials. Always verify compatibility with your specific plastic type before use.

3. How should I store opened containers of this acetone?

Transfer to a tightly sealed glass container with minimal headspace and store at room temperature away from ignition sources. The original AcroSeal® bottle should be recapped immediately after use to maintain dryness.

4. What’s the typical shelf life for unopened extra dry acetone?

When stored properly in its original sealed packaging, the acetone maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.

5. Are there any special disposal requirements for this grade of acetone?

Follow standard laboratory solvent disposal protocols. Despite its high purity, it remains a flammable liquid and should be collected in designated solvent waste containers for proper incineration or recycling.
