| Application: | • Used as a solvent and/or building block in organic syntheses, such as SN2 reactions and Jones oxidation • Mobile phase in Thin layer chromatography (TLC) and other analytical applications This is a plant waste-derived acetone, that acts as a drop-in replacement for any acetone application with no change in procedure or equipment necessary. |
| Application: | Acetone′s luminesence intensity is dependent upon the solution components . The absorption of UV light by acetone, results in its photolysis and the production of radials . |
| Features and Benefits: | • Made from Renewable Resource (whisky production residues and reject potatoes) • Replacement for Petroleum-based Acetone • Renewable Carbon Content - ≥99.9% • ASTM D6866 - Standard Test Methods for Determining the Biobased Content |
| General description: | We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product is 100% biorenewable and thus aligns with "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries" and "Use of Renewable Feedstocks". Click here  for more information.This ACS grade Acetone is a drop-in replacement for any Acetone application. Made from 100% renewable carbon (verified through C14 ASTM D6866-16 testing) and produced in an environmentally friendly way that reduces the carbon footprint of production and reliance on fossil-fuels. Because it is not from petroleum, it is free from many non-renewable contaminants, such as benzene, phthalates and other phenols, leading to higher quality product. |
