Buy Acetone in UAE
CAS 67-64-1

Acetone has an exceptionally wide range of industrial applications. Its primary industrial uses are as: (1) a feedstock for Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) via the acetone cyanohydrin (ACH) route, which produces PMMA (Perspex/acrylic glass); (2) a co-reactant in Bisphenol-A (BPA) synthesis with phenol, producing polycarbonate and epoxy resin monomers; (3) a process solvent in pharmaceutical API manufacturing (ICH Q3C Class 3 solvent); (4) a solvent in coatings, lacquers, printing inks and contact adhesives; (5) an active ingredient in nail polish removers and degreasing products; and (6) a chemical intermediate for MIBK, diacetone alcohol and isophorone production chains.

The CAS Registry Number of Acetone is 67-64-1. This is the unique international identifier for acetone used in procurement, regulatory submissions, safety documentation and customs declarations. The EINECS number is 200-662-2. The HS Code applicable in UAE customs for acetone is 2914 11 00.

Acetone is known by several synonyms in the chemical and solvent trade: Propanone (IUPAC name), 2-Propanone, Dimethyl Ketone, DMK, and historically Pyroacetic Spirit or Pyroacetic Acid. In German-language markets it is sometimes called Azeton. In regulatory and pharmacopoeial documents you may encounter it as Acetone BP or Acetone ACS depending on the quality standard referenced.

Chelora Chemicals UAE (chelorachemicalsuae.com) is a UAE-registered chemical supplier providing Acetone (CAS 67-64-1) at industrial and reagent grade (≥99.5% purity) to manufacturers, formulators and distributors across all seven UAE emirates and GCC countries. Chelora Chemicals operates from Jebel Ali and can dispatch to any industrial zone, free zone or manufacturing site in the UAE and GCC within agreed lead times.

Yes. Chelora Chemicals delivers Acetone across all seven UAE emirates: Dubai (Jebel Ali, JAFZA, DIC, Al Quoz), Abu Dhabi (ICAD, Musaffah, KIZAD), Sharjah (Hamriyah Free Zone, SAIF Zone, Sharjah Industrial Area), Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. All deliveries use ADR Class 3-compliant flammable liquid transport vehicles. We also export to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar via Jebel Ali.

Chelora Chemicals supplies Acetone at a minimum purity of ≥ 99.5% by GC. Key analytical specifications include: water content ≤ 0.2% (KF), colour ≤ 5 APHA, acidity ≤ 0.002% (as acetic acid), methanol ≤ 0.05%, isopropanol ≤ 0.2%, and heavy metals ≤ 1 ppm. This specification meets both industrial and reagent-grade (ACS and BP) requirements. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis is provided with every delivery.

Acetone presents two primary hazards. It is classified as a highly flammable liquid and vapour (GHS Flammable Liquids Category 2, H225) with a flash point of −20 °C — one of the lowest flash points of common industrial solvents. This demands strict ignition source exclusion in all storage and handling areas. Acetone vapour is denser than air and can accumulate in low-lying areas. As a health hazard, acetone is classified as a STOT Single Exposure Category 3 (H336 — may cause drowsiness and dizziness at high vapour concentrations), but is not classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or reproductive toxic. Always refer to the current SDS and observe all P-statement precautions.

Chelora Chemicals can supply Acetone from small laboratory quantities (5 L or 25 L jerricans) through to full bulk tanker loads. For laboratory and small-batch users, 25 L jerricans or 200 L drums are the practical starting point. For manufacturing plants, IBC (1,000 L) or road tanker quantities are standard. There is no strict minimum order quantity — please contact us with your requirement and we will advise the most cost-effective packaging and quantity option for your usage rate and location.

Chelora Chemicals offers Acetone in: 5 L and 25 L HDPE jerricans/carboys (laboratory and small batch), 200 L steel drums (bung type, UN-approved for Class 3 flammable liquids), 1,000 L IBCs (carbon steel or stainless steel, UN-approved), and bulk road tanker or ISO tank containers for large-volume industrial supply. All packaging carries UN 1090 marking, proper shipping name, GHS hazard labels and emergency contact information as required by ADR and IMDG regulations.

Acetone must be stored in a dedicated flammable liquid store that meets UAE fire safety and chemical storage regulations. The store must be: cool (below 25 °C), well-ventilated to prevent vapour accumulation, fully earthed and bonded, free from all ignition sources (electrical equipment, open flames, static sources), and away from oxidising agents. Containers must be kept tightly closed when not in use. Storage areas must be equipped with appropriate fire suppression (dry powder or CO₂ extinguishers — not water), spill containment bunding and emergency access to fresh air. The SDS storage section provides full P-statement storage requirements.

Yes. Chelora Chemicals regularly exports Acetone from the UAE to GCC countries — Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar — and to broader markets in Asia, Africa and Europe via Jebel Ali Port. As ADR Class 3 flammable liquid (UN 1090, PG II), export requires IMDG-compliant packaging, proper MSAD UAE customs declarations, and compliance with each destination country's import regulations for hazardous chemicals. Our logistics and compliance team handles all export documentation. Contact us for export volumes, pricing and lead times.

Both industrial-grade and reagent-grade acetone supplied by Chelora Chemicals meet the ≥99.5% purity specification by GC. The key differences lie in the scope and rigor of analytical testing. Reagent grade (ACS or BP grade) is tested against additional pharmacopoeial or standard-body specifications including limits on specific impurities (methanol, isopropanol, peroxides, heavy metals, acidity), with results traceable to certified reference standards. Industrial grade meets process purity requirements but may have a less extensive analytical certificate. For pharmaceutical, analytical and research applications, reagent grade is recommended. For large-volume solvent and intermediate uses, industrial grade is typically fully adequate. Contact us to discuss the appropriate grade for your specific application.
