Labbox Acetone 99.5 % AGR ACS, ISO, Ph. Eur.
This high-purity solvent is used particularly in professional laboratory and production areas where precision and consistency are of crucial importance. Due to its high degree of purity, it is suitable for demanding analytical procedures as well as for numerous cleaning and extraction processes. Compared to other products, it offers a convincing combination of purity, fast evaporation and broad compatibility with various substances. Anyone looking for a reliable option for the laboratory or production can achieve extremely accurate and reproducible results with this acetone.
Functionality and advantages
This solvent is manufactured according to strict quality criteria and tested to ACS, ISO and Ph. As a result, it achieves a consistently high level of purity, reliably supporting laboratory analytical procedures, active ingredient tests and precise cleaning processes. Thanks to its low residue formation, it is also ideal for processes in which contamination would falsify the results. It is also characterised by rapid evaporation and good solubility of fats, oils and many other organic compounds.
When handled correctly, the product is safe and versatile. It is particularly valuable for sensitive laboratory processes where the highest purity requirements apply. The hazardous substance labelling and GHS symbols provide clear information on the correct handling and the protective measures to be taken.
Technical features
- Degree of purity: 99.5 %
- Molecular weight: 58.08 g/mol
- CAS number: 67-64-1
- Labelling: GHS02 (flame), GHS07 (exclamation mark)

Appropriate safety equipment - from safety goggles to gloves - must therefore always be worn.
Certifications and standards
Compliance with important industry standards such as ACS, ISO and Ph. Eur. proves that the product has passed demanding tests and is suitable for critical assessments in the laboratory. In accredited laboratories in particular, it is essential that all substances used fulfil such clearly defined specifications. Proven quality ensures that sample preparations, chromatographic procedures or other analytical steps remain reproducible regardless of the equipment used. This ensures that test results are comparable and valid at all times.
Typical application examples
- Cleaning sensitive glass and metal parts: It effectively removes grease, oils and production-related residues.
- Extraction of organic substances: Particularly suitable for isolating plant-based or chemically-synthesised active ingredients.
- Preparation of samples: For ultra-fine analyses in the pharmaceutical or food industry, such as for HPLC or spectral analyses, it ensures clear results.
- Removal of stubborn deposits: It is often used to dissolve adhesives as well as to remove firmly adhering resins.
It has proven to be a reliable choice, especially in pharmaceutical environments where impurities can severely disrupt drug analyses. The rapid evaporation prevents residues, which is a decisive advantage for precise laboratory protocols.FAQs
How to ensure safe handling
For safe use in the laboratory and production, appropriate protective measures should always be observed. This includes wearing safety goggles and gloves as well as working under a suitable exhaust ventilation system.
What storage conditions are recommended
The solvent should be stored in a cool, dry and ventilated place, away from sources of ignition. It is also important to store it in a tightly sealed original container to ensure its continued preciousness and purity.
Is it possible to mix with other solvents?
As a rule, it can be mixed with ethanol, methanol or other common organic solvents without any problems. However, it is advisable to consult the relevant safety data sheets beforehand.
How is the product transported?
Because it is classified as UN 1090, it falls under dangerous goods class 3. If properly packaged and labelled, it can be shipped in compliance with the law, whether by road, air or sea freight in accordance with ADR.
Can it also be used to remove paint?
Yes, its strong solvent properties make it a frequently used tool for removing paints and varnishes. However, it is important to note that some plastics or rubber surfaces can be attacked.
Conclusion
Thanks to its high degree of purity, rapid evaporation and extensive compatibility, this solvent impresses with reliable results in analysis and cleaning processes in laboratories and industry. The ACS, ISO and Ph. Eur. certifications and the labelling as a flammable liquid not only guarantee consistent quality, but also provide clear safety instructions. It proves to be a versatile and reliable option, especially for users who place the highest demands on purity and precision.
