Description
Acetone at 99%. The manufacturer safety data sheet declares acetone, CAS 67-64-1, at greater than 99% w/v, with relevant identified uses restricted to industrial or commercial use.
Physical data (from the SDS)
- Colourless liquid with an ethereal odour
- pH 7
- Boiling point 56.05 °C
- Melting point -94.8 °C
- Flash point -18.0 °C, closed cup
- Relative density 0.79 g/cm3 at 20 °C
- Vapour pressure 240 hPa at 20 °C
- Miscible with water in any proportion
- Partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) -0.23
- Autoignition temperature 465 °C

Classification
Classified under 29 CFR 1910.1200 as a flammable liquid with eye irritation Category 2 (H319) and single-exposure organ toxicity Category 3 (H336, may cause drowsiness or dizziness). The very low flash point of -18.0 °C is the governing control consideration: vapour is generated well below room temperature.
Container sizes
1 quart, 4 x 1 quart, 1 gallon, 5 gallons and 55 gallons.
Frequently asked questions
What purity is declared?+
The manufacturer SDS composition table declares acetone, CAS 67-64-1, at greater than 99% w/v.
What is the flash point?+
-18.0 °C determined closed cup. Flammability limits are 2.6 vol% lower and 12.8 vol% upper, and autoignition is 465 °C. Because the flash point is well below ambient, flammable vapour is present at normal room temperature.
What are the boiling point and density?+
Boiling point 56.05 °C, melting point -94.8 °C, relative density 0.79 g/cm3 at 20 °C and vapour pressure 240 hPa at 20 °C.
Is it water miscible?+
Yes - the SDS records it as miscible with water in any proportion, with a n-octanol/water partition coefficient of -0.23 and a pH of 7.
What health hazards are declared?+
Eye irritation Category 2 (H319) and single-exposure organ toxicity Category 3 (H336, may cause drowsiness or dizziness). The SDS directs removal of contaminated clothing and rinsing of skin with water or shower after skin contact, and rinsing with plenty of water plus ophthalmological review after eye contact.
What container sizes are available?+
1 quart, 4 x 1 quart, 1 gallon, 5 gallons and 55 gallons.
