What we supply

Acetone in bulk, against a written specification.

Acetone is the simplest ketone — a clear, fast-evaporating solvent that dissolves a very wide range of resins, oils and plastics and mixes completely with water. Most of the world's acetone is made alongside phenol in the cumene process, which ties its supply to phenol demand.

Velora supplies acetone at 99.5% minimum in ISO tanks for bulk users and 160 kg drums for everyone else, with the batch certificate and safety data sheet on every load.

Grades & packing

What goes out, and how it is packed.

These are the formats we most commonly supply. Other concentrations, packing sizes and pack marking are available — ask at the enquiry stage.

Handling & storage

What to get right before the load arrives.

Worth reading before you order rather than after. If any of this is a problem at your site, tell us — it usually changes what we would quote.

Site notes

  • Highly flammable (Class 3, UN 1090), with a flash point well below room temperature. The vapour is heavier than air and can travel to an ignition source — store in a ventilated flameproof area, earth and bond drums and tankers during transfer, and allow no naked flames or sparks.
  • Acetone attacks many plastics, rubbers and paints. Check gaskets, hoses and seals: PTFE, EPDM or butyl for seals and hoses; stainless or carbon steel for tanks and lines. Viton (FKM), nitrile, neoprene and PVC are attacked.
  • Keep it away from strong oxidisers. The vapour causes drowsiness and dizziness and the liquid irritates eyes; use with good ventilation and eye protection.

Price

What actually moves the acetone price.

Acetone moves with the phenol–cumene chain: benzene and propylene feedstock, how hard phenol plants are running, and import parity, since India imports a large share of its acetone. Offers therefore carry a short validity. ISO tanks price lower per kg than drums; freight and quantity set the rest.

Questions

Acetone — what buyers ask us.

Can I buy acetone in small bottles?

No. We supply acetone in bulk only — ISO tanks and 160 kg drums — to industrial and pharmaceutical users. We may ask for an end-use declaration with the order.

What is the acetone price per litre?

Bulk acetone is traded per kg. Acetone is lighter than water — about 0.79 kg per litre — so convert before you compare a per-litre quote with a per-kg one.

Is acetone the same as MEK?

No. Methyl ethyl ketone is a slower-evaporating ketone used where acetone flashes off too fast. We supply both — tell us the application and we will say which fits.

What is the acetone price per kg?

Bulk acetone is quoted per kg, landed. It follows the phenol–cumene chain and import parity, so offers carry a short validity. ISO tanks are cheaper per kg than drums.

Are you an acetone manufacturer?

No — Velora is a bulk supplier. Acetone is sourced from producers and importers and supplied in ISO tanks and drums.

What is the HSN code for acetone?

The HSN code for acetone is 2914 11 00 (Acetone). Source: the Indian customs tariff as listed in the GST HSN directory, checked September 2026.
