Overview
Acetone (CH₃COCH₃) is the simplest ketone — a colorless, volatile, flammable liquid with a characteristic sweet, pungent odor. It is one of the most widely used industrial solvents due to its excellent miscibility with water and organic compounds, rapid evaporation rate, and cost-effectiveness. Moon Bright Resources supplies high-purity Acetone (99.9% minimum) suitable for industrial degreasing, laboratory analysis, cosmetics manufacturing, and pharmaceutical processing. Our product meets ASTM D329 specifications and is manufactured under strict quality controls to ensure consistent performance across all applications.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is Acetone safe to use on plastics?
A1: No — acetone attacks and dissolves many plastics including polystyrene, polycarbonate (Lexan), PVC, and acrylic. It is safe for use on polypropylene (PP), HDPE, and glass. Always test on a small hidden area before applying to plastic surfaces.
Q2: Is Acetone flammable?
A2: Yes, acetone is highly flammable with a flash point of -20°C. It forms explosive vapor-air mixtures. Never use near open flames, welding, or electrical sparks. Store and use only with adequate ventilation and no ignition sources.
Q3: Do you offer OEM / private label packaging?
A3: Yes, Moon Bright Resources provides full OEM services for acetone and all our chemical products. We can package under your brand name with custom labels, your choice of container sizes (from 500 mL to 200 liter drums), and tailored specifications (purity grade, dilution, or additive formulations). Minimum OEM order quantity is 1000 liters. Contact our team to discuss your branding requirements.
Q4: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A4: MOQ is 500 mL for laboratory samples, 20 liters for small commercial orders, and 200 liters for wholesale pricing. Bulk orders of 1000 liters or more qualify for discounted rates and priority shipping. For OEM orders, MOQ is 1000 liters.
Q5: Do you provide Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment?
A5: Yes, every shipment includes a COA showing purity (99.9% minimum), water content, residue after evaporation, and acidity levels. ACS grade certification and USP-NF grade documentation are available upon request for laboratory and pharmaceutical applications.
