RANKEM Acetone 25 LTR

We are reputed Wholesaler and Trader of Chemical Flakes, Crystal Chemical, Liquid Chemical, Lumps Chemical and Powder Chemical.Certificate of analysis (Coa) and material safety data sheet(msds) is attached.

Introduction:

• Acetone is a colorless, volatile, flammable organic solvent. Acetone occurs naturally in plants, trees, forest fires, vehicle exhaust and as a breakdown product of animal fat metabolism. This agent may be normally present in very small quantities in urine and blood; larger amounts may be found in the urine and blood of diabetics. Acetone is toxic in high doses.

Uses:

• Used in small volume applications some of which are to make functional compounds such as antioxidants, herbicides, higher ketones, condensates with formaldehyde or diphenylamine, and vitamin intermediates.
• Acetone is used as a brine for low temperature heat transfer in indirect refrigeration.
• used for cleaning and drying precision parts.
• Both oil base and water base fracturing fluids are being used in the fracturing industry. Water base, which includes alcohol-water mixtures and low strength acids, make up the majority of treating fluids. The common chemicals added to these fluids are polymers for viscosity development, crosslinkers for viscosity enhancement, pH control chemicals, gel breakers for polymer degradation following the treatment, surfactants, clay stabilizers, alcohol, bactericides, fluid loss additives and friction reducer. /Hydraulic fracturing

Safety and Hazards:
GHS Hazard Statements –

• H225: Highly Flammable liquid an d vapor[Danger Flammable liquids]
• H319: Causes serious eye irritation [Warning Serious eye damage/eye irritation]
• H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness

Hazards Summary –
Acetone is a manufactured chemical that is also found naturally in the environment. It is a colorless liquid with a distinct smell and taste. It evaporates easily, is flammable, and dissolves in water. It is also called dimethyl ketone, 2-propanone, and beta-ketopropane. Acetone is used to make plastic, fibers, drugs, and other chemicals. It is also used to dissolve other substances. It occurs naturally in plants, trees, volcanic gases, forest fires, and as a product of the breakdown of body fat. It is present in vehicle exhaust, tobacco smoke, and landfill sites. Industrial processes contribute more acetone to the environment than natural processes.

Physical Dangers – The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.

Toxicity:

• Evidence for Carcinogenicity – not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity. BASIS FOR CLASSIFICATION: Based on lack of data concerning carcinogenicity in humans or animals.
• Exposure Routes – The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, ingestion, skin and/or eye contact
• Symptoms – irritation eyes, nose, throat; headache, dizziness, central nervous system depression; dermatitis
• Inhalation Symptoms – Sore throat. Cough. Confusion. Headache. Dizziness. Drowsiness. Unconsciousness.
• Skin Symptoms – Dry skin.
• Eye Symptoms – Redness. Pain. Blurred vision.
• Ingestion Symptoms – Nausea. Vomiting.
• Target Organs – Hematological, Neurological (Nervous System)
