About Acetone

Buy acetone (CAS 67-64-1) in ACS Reagent and Technical Grade from Alliance Chemical. Acetone is a fast-evaporating ketone solvent used for surface preparation, resin cleanup, coatings, laboratory work, and manufacturing processes where strong solvency and rapid drying are required.

Products In This Collection

This collection includes Acetone ACS Grade for reagent, laboratory, and quality-sensitive workflows, plus Acetone Technical Grade for industrial cleaning, degreasing, resin cleanup, and production use. Packaging is available for small-batch work through bulk requirements.

Common Applications

Composite and carbon fiber work: Acetone is used for resin cleanup, tool wipe-down, and surface prep in composite manufacturing and repair.
Paints, coatings, and adhesives: Its fast evaporation rate makes acetone useful in coating cleanup, adhesive residue removal, and solvent-borne formulation work.
Metal and surface preparation: Acetone removes many oils, greases, and residues before bonding, coating, or inspection.
Laboratory solvent use: ACS acetone supports general reagent, rinse, extraction, and chromatography-adjacent workflows where grade matters.

Grade & Selection Notes

Choose ACS Grade acetone when your process requires reagent-level purity, tighter impurity limits, or laboratory documentation. Choose Technical Grade acetone for production cleaning, shop use, coating cleanup, and general industrial solvent work.

Safety & Handling

Acetone is highly flammable and evaporates quickly. Keep containers closed, use ventilation, eliminate ignition sources, and review the SDS before use. Ground and bond containers during bulk transfer. Review the Safety Data Sheets before use and follow your site-specific handling procedure.

Why Buy From Alliance Chemical

Most in-stock acetone orders ship in 1-2 business days. SDS and lot-specific COA support are available for documentation-controlled buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy acetone by the gallon?

Right here. Alliance stocks acetone in ACS reagent grade and technical grade, from 1 pint and 1 quart through 1 gallon, 5, 15 and 55 gallon drums and 275 and 330 gallon totes. Ships from Texas in 1 to 2 business days with the SDS on every product page.

Technical or ACS grade: which acetone do I need?

Technical grade for cleaning, thinning, degreasing and composite work. ACS reagent grade when a lab method or specification calls for certified purity. Both come with the SDS and a lot certificate of analysis.

Can I buy acetone in bulk?

Yes. 55-gallon drums and 275-gallon and 330-gallon totes ship on a pallet by LTL freight. For multi-drum or recurring supply, use the quote form on any product page and we price it with freight.

Who can buy acetone?

Alliance sells acetone online to businesses and individuals, pint through tote. Acetone is a DEA List II chemical, but buyers need no license. A single domestic sale of 50 gallons (150 kg) or more is a regulated transaction: Alliance records the buyer's name, address, ID, and quantity and keeps it two years. Drums and totes are above that threshold.

How is acetone shipped?

Both grades ship as hazmat: UN1090, Acetone, Class 3 flammable liquid, Packing Group II, packed by staff trained to 49 CFR 172.704. Pints and quarts ship UPS Ground as Limited Quantity, gallons and pails as regulated hazmat by UPS Ground, drums and totes by LTL freight.

What is acetone used for?

Acetone is used for cleaning, degreasing, resin cleanup, surface preparation, coatings, adhesives, and laboratory solvent work.

Should I buy ACS or Technical Grade acetone?

Use ACS Grade for laboratory or purity-sensitive applications. Use Technical Grade for industrial cleaning, production, and general solvent use.

Is acetone stronger than IPA?

Acetone is generally a stronger and faster-evaporating solvent than IPA, but it is also more aggressive on plastics, coatings, and some elastomers.

Does acetone leave residue?

High-quality acetone evaporates rapidly and is selected for low-residue cleaning, but residue performance depends on grade, surface contamination, and handling practices.

Is acetone regulated for shipping?

Acetone is a flammable liquid, so shipping options depend on package size, destination, and carrier requirements.
