Our Acetone, ACS Reagent Grade, is of a chemical grade with highest purity and meets or exceeds purity standards set by the American Chemical Society (ACS). Also meets USP/NF grade requirements.
The contaminant-free purity of ACS Reagent Grade Acetone is desired as a special-purpose solvent, particularly in cleaning laser optics and other delicate lenses and mirrors.
Acetone is colorless and mixes with water, alcohol, chloroform, ether and most oils. It evaporates quickly.
