Product overview

High quality acetone (2-Propanone) for lab and industry use. This widely used solvent, chemically known as CH₃COCH₃, complies with the ACS and Ph.Eur.

DMK, propanone, dimethyl ketone acetone (CAS 67-64-1) is the most widely recognized solvent in chemical, pharmaceutical and manufacturing industries due to its unique set of properties. The molecular structure, based on a central carbonyl group between two methyl groups, was associated with high solvent power, rapid evaporation and low viscosity.

The formula for acetone, CH₃COCH₃, is a reflection of the simple but highly reactive ketone structure that makes it useful for cleaning, degreasing, extracting and as a reagent in a multitude of chemical processes. 

We are the best reliable source of testing and measuring equipments in UAE, Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, etc and high quality acetone is stocked with us that satisfies the very high purity standards required by modern laboratory and industrial applications.
