Acetone Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Propanone
- Dimethyl Ketone
Acetone supplier for coatings, inks, adhesives, cleaning and manufacturing in Malaysia. Also known as propanone or dimethyl ketone, acetone is a clear, colourless and fast-evaporating ketone solvent used where strong solvency and a short drying profile suit the process.
Industrial-grade and technical-grade acetone cover general formulation, processing and equipment-cleaning requirements. High-purity acetone is selected when a manufacturer or laboratory needs tighter controls for water, colour, residue or other impurities. Acetone is distinct from isopropyl alcohol and from other ketones, so the required chemical and grade should be stated clearly.
Coatings and ink manufacturers use acetone in selected lacquers, thinners and printing systems. Adhesive formulators, resin processors and industrial plants also use it as a process or cleaning solvent where the materials and equipment are compatible.

Acetone grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial-grade acetone | clear, colourless liquid | industrial solvent specification | General solvent use in coatings, inks, adhesives, cleaning compounds and manufacturing processes where an industrial specification is suitable. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical-grade acetone | clear, colourless liquid | technical specification | Process solvent, cleaning solvent and formulation input where the buyer has defined limits for purity, water, colour or non-volatile residue. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity acetone | clear, colourless liquid | high-purity specification | Controlled manufacturing and laboratory work that requires tighter impurity limits than a general industrial solvent grade. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Acetone applications
Common questions about acetone
Are acetone, propanone and dimethyl ketone the same product?
Yes. Propanone is the systematic name for acetone, while dimethyl ketone is another established name for the same chemical. State acetone and the required grade or specification when requesting a quotation.
Which acetone grade should an industrial buyer request?
Industrial or technical grade is commonly specified for coatings, inks, adhesives, cleaning and general manufacturing. High-purity material is more suitable when the process requires tighter impurity controls. Send the application and specification so the quoted grade can be matched.
What acetone specifications should be included in an enquiry?
Include the required purity and any limits for water content, colour, acidity or alkalinity, and non-volatile residue that matter to the process. A current purchasing specification is the clearest basis for grade matching.
Is acetone the same as isopropyl alcohol?
No. Acetone is a ketone and isopropyl alcohol is an alcohol. They differ in solvency, evaporation behaviour and compatibility, so one should not be substituted for the other without process or formulation approval.
Can acetone be used for coatings, inks and adhesives?
Acetone is used as a fast-evaporating solvent in selected coating, ink and adhesive systems. Suitability depends on the resin, drying profile and production process, so buyers should identify the formulation and required solvent specification in the enquiry.
What details are needed for an acetone price enquiry?
Provide the grade, target specification, intended industrial application, quantity and delivery location. Add preferred packing and documentation requirements so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
