Acetone (CAS NO : 67-64-1)

Acetone (CAS No: 67-64-1) remains a cornerstone aliphatic ketone in the global petrochemical value chain, where its role as a co-product of phenol via the cumene hydroperoxide process dictates a complex supply-demand equilibrium influenced more by downstream polymer intermediates than standalone solvent demand. In the current market, the rapid expansion of phenol capacity in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in China, has resulted in a structural oversupply that compresses margins but secures steady availability for high-growth sectors like Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) for automotive lightweighting and Bisphenol A (BPA) for polycarbonate production. Furthermore, the shift towards high-purity, electronic-grade, and pharmaceutical-grade acetone (≥99.5%) is accelerating as manufacturers in the semiconductor and life sciences industries demand ultra-low trace metal profiles and VOC-exempt solvent alternatives to meet stringent regulatory and performance standards. As a globally established Acetone supplier with technical and specialty grades reaching ≥99.5% purity, we ensure dependable supply, consistent quality, and complete regulatory documentation, including Acetone CoA and Acetone TDS across all grades. Beyond supply, we support partners through the entire product lifecycle from route scouting, process and formulation development, and analytical method development to scale-up, process optimisation, and pilot-to-commercial manufacturing. Our teams also assist with GMP-compliant quality assurance, regulatory documentation, and global supply chain and logistics coordination.
