About Product

Welcome to Elchemy, where innovation meets excellence in chemical manufacturing. Our flagship product, Aceton, stands as a testament to our commitment to quality and precision. As one of the leading acetone manufacturers, we pride ourselves on delivering a product that not only meets but exceeds industry standards.


Aceton, chemically known as propanone, boasts the molecular formula C₃H₆O. This colorless, volatile liquid is a member of the ketone family, characterized by its carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two methyl groups (CH₃). This unique molecular structure imparts Aceton with its remarkable properties, making it an indispensable solvent in various industries.


At room temperature, Aceton is a clear, colorless liquid with a distinctive, sharp odor. It has a boiling point of 56°C (133°F) and a melting point of -95°C (-139°F), highlighting its high volatility. This volatility ensures rapid evaporation, a crucial feature for processes requiring quick drying times. Additionally, Aceton is fully miscible with water, alcohol, and most organic solvents, enhancing its versatility and utility in diverse chemical processes.


Aceton is renowned for its stability under normal conditions, yet it remains highly reactive, making it an excellent solvent for a wide range of organic compounds. Its high polarity, low viscosity, and low surface tension contribute to its superior solvency capabilities. However, it’s important to note that Aceton is highly flammable, with a flashpoint of -20°C (-4°F). Proper handling and storage are essential to ensure safety and maintain its integrity.


Our Aceton is produced using the cumene process, a method that guarantees high efficiency and purity. This process involves the oxidation of cumene (isopropylbenzene) to produce cumene hydroperoxide, which is then cleaved to yield Aceton and phenol. This method not only ensures a consistent supply of high-quality Aceton but also aligns with our commitment to sustainable and custom chemical manufacturing practices.


Choosing Elchemy’s Aceton means opting for a product that embodies superior quality, consistency, and reliability. Our rigorous quality control measures and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities ensure that every batch of Aceton meets the highest standards. Whether you’re in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, or any other industry requiring a top-tier solvent, Elchemy’s Aceton is your go-to solution.


Experience the Elchemy difference with Aceton – where quality meets innovation, and excellence is a standard. Join the ranks of satisfied clients who trust us for their chemical needs and discover why we are a preferred choice among acetone manufacturers.
