What Is Acetone?
Acetone is a clear, colourless liquid with a sharp, sweet smell. Its formula is C₃H₆O. It evaporates quickly, mixes easily with water, alcohol and most organic solvents, and it dissolves a wide range of substances. That is why it is one of the most commonly used industrial solvents in the world.
It is also highly flammable, so it must be stored and moved with care. You can read the full chemical profile on PubChem.
Why Buyers Choose Us as Their Acetone Manufacturer in Maharashtra
Solvent buyers need steady quality and on-time trucks. A delay or an off-spec lot can stop a production line. Here is what we focus on:
- Batch-wise quality reports: Each lot ships with a COA showing purity, water content and other key parameters.
- Choice of grades: Industrial, pharma and laboratory requirements can be discussed as per your need.
- Flexible packing and volumes: Drums for regular users and tanker loads for bulk buyers.
- Maharashtra advantage: Being close to the Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, Pune, Nashik and Aurangabad industrial belts keeps transit short and costs sensible.
- Proper paperwork: SDS, GST invoice and hazardous-goods transport documents with every order.

Safe Handling, Storage and Compliance
Acetone catches fire very easily and its vapour can travel to a distant spark. A few basics:
- Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from heat, flames and oxidisers.
- Keep containers tightly closed and earthed during transfer.
- Use gloves, safety goggles and good ventilation. Avoid breathing the vapour for long periods.
- Read the SDS before use.
Storage of large quantities of flammable liquids is regulated in India, so check with PESO about licences, and with the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board about environmental approvals for your site.
