Molychem Acetone Cleaning Solvent for Degreasing & Laser Optics
Molychem Acetone (AR grade, min. 99.5% purity, CAS 67-64-1) is a fast-evaporating, low-residue cleaning solvent for degreasing metal, removing adhesives and resin, and cleaning laser lenses and optical surfaces. Supplied in 500 ml, 1 L and 2.5 L packs with a GST invoice, dispatched from Ahmedabad with pan-India delivery in 1–3 business days. Molychem acetone price from ₹ 799 per 1 Bottle.
Molychem is a Mumbai-based manufacturer of HPLC, AR/GR and LR grade laboratory reagents and fine chemicals. Molychem Acetone AR is an analytical-reagent-grade solvent at minimum 99.5% purity, which makes it strong enough for heavy degreasing yet clean enough for precision and optical cleaning. It is fully miscible with water, flashes off in seconds and leaves almost no residue.
For degreasing & surface prep - removes cutting oil, fingerprints and machining grease from metal before welding, bonding, painting or powder coating. The surface dries clean and ready in seconds.
For laser lens & optics cleaning - the AR 99.5% grade lifts oil and spatter film from protective windows and focusing lenses without leaving a residue that would burn onto the coating. Practical tip: acetone evaporates so fast that flooding a cold optic can chill the surface and leave a moisture haze - wipe in one direction with a lens tissue, do not soak. Pairs with the lenses and windows in our laser cutting optics range.

Key Features of Molychem Acetone AR
Analytical-reagent purity (99.5%). AR grade is clean enough for optics and precision work, not just rough degreasing - a real step up from technical-grade acetone.
Evaporates clean, leaves no film. Flashes off in seconds with almost no residue, so surfaces are weld-ready, bond-ready or optically clean without a second wipe.
Strong, fast solvent. Cuts grease, oil, uncured resin, adhesive residue and many paints - one solvent for most degreasing and surface-prep jobs.
Trusted brand, sealed packs. Genuine Molychem product in sealed, GHS-labelled 500 ml, 1 L and 2.5 L packs with a 5-year shelf life. MSDS and COA available on request.
Pack Sizes & Related Solvents
Molychem Acetone AR is stocked in three pack sizes - 500 ml for bench and optics cleaning, 1 L and 2.5 L for higher-volume degreasing. For sensitive optical surfaces, many shops pair acetone with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) for the final wipe, and the lenses in our cutting optics range.
Laser Cutting & Optics - cleaning protective windows and focusing lenses
Metal Fabrication & Welding - degreasing and surface prep
Adhesive & Resin Work - dissolving uncured adhesive and resin residue
Paint & Coating Shops - thinning and cleanup of uncured paint
Laboratories - AR-grade reagent and general solvent
Automotive Workshops - parts cleaning and degreasing
Electronics - flux and contamination removal where compatible
Plastics - solvent welding of compatible plastics
Safe Handling & Storage
Molychem Acetone carries GHS02 (flammable) and GHS07 (irritant) hazard symbols, signal word Danger. Hazard statements: H225 (highly flammable liquid and vapour), H319 (causes serious eye irritation), H336 (may cause drowsiness or dizziness). Handle with care:
Keep away from ignition. No open flame, sparks, hot work or smoking nearby. Vapour is heavier than air and can travel to an ignition source. Store away from your laser's electrical cabinet.
Ventilate. Use in a well-ventilated area to avoid drowsiness and dizziness from vapour.
Protect skin and eyes. Acetone defats skin and seriously irritates eyes - use gloves and eye protection (P305+P351+P338 if it enters the eyes).
Store correctly. Keep in the original tightly closed, labelled container in a cool, ventilated place, out of sunlight and away from oxidisers.
Wipe, do not flood. Decant small amounts; keep the main pack closed. For optics, wipe in one direction with a lens tissue.
Keep the MSDS on hand. A Molychem Material Safety Data Sheet and COA are available with every order. [Link your MSDS PDF here.]
How to Use Molychem Acetone for Cleaning
Degreasing metal: apply to a clean lint-free cloth, wipe the surface, and let it flash off before welding, bonding or coating.
Laser optics: use a fresh lens tissue, apply a small amount of acetone, and wipe the lens or protective window in a single direction. Do not soak the optic.
Check plastic compatibility: acetone attacks many plastics (ABS, polystyrene, polycarbonate). Test on a hidden area before use on or near plastic parts.
Pick the right pack: 500 ml for bench and optics, 1 L or 2.5 L for high-volume degreasing. WhatsApp +91 92740 95891 for bulk pricing and a GST quote.

Acetone vs Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) for Cleaning
Both are common cleaning solvents. Molychem Acetone is the stronger, faster solvent; IPA is gentler and safer on plastics. Many shops keep both.

Frequently Asked Questions - Molychem Acetone
Molychem Acetone is an analytical-reagent (AR) grade acetone at minimum 99.5% purity, CAS 67-64-1, made by Molychem, a Mumbai-based laboratory chemicals manufacturer. It is a colourless, fast-evaporating, low-residue solvent used for degreasing, surface preparation and cleaning laser lenses and optical surfaces.
Molychem Acetone AR is analytical-reagent grade at minimum 99.5% purity. This grade is clean enough for laser optics and precision cleaning, while still strong enough for heavy degreasing - a step above technical-grade acetone. Molychem also offers a 99.0% N-hexane-free acetone; confirm the variant you need.
Molychem Acetone AR is available in 500 ml, 1 L and 2.5 L packs. The 500 ml pack suits bench cleaning and optics; 1 L and 2.5 L suit higher-volume degreasing. Bulk supply is available for workshops and dealers.
Molychem Acetone is used for degreasing metal, removing adhesives, uncured resin and paint, cleaning glass and optical surfaces, and as an AR-grade laboratory solvent. In laser cutting workshops it is used to clean protective windows and focusing lenses because it lifts oil and spatter without leaving residue.
Yes. At 99.5% AR purity, Molychem Acetone is clean enough to lift oil and spatter film from protective windows and focusing lenses without leaving residue. Wipe in one direction with a lens tissue rather than soaking the optic, since acetone evaporates so fast it can chill a cold lens and leave a moisture haze.
Molychem Acetone price at SparesZone starts at ₹799 per 1 Bottle and depends on pack size (500 ml / 1 L / 2.5 L). All prices include a GST invoice, and bulk orders get additional discounts. WhatsApp +91 92740 95891 for current pricing.
Yes, Molychem Acetone is highly flammable (hazard statement H225, flash point around -20 °C) and its vapour is heavier than air. Keep it away from flames, sparks and heat, use it in a well-ventilated area, wear gloves and eye protection, and store it in the original tightly closed container in a cool place away from oxidisers. An MSDS and COA are available with every order.
The CAS number of acetone is 67-64-1. Its chemical formula is (CH₃)₂CO and its molecular weight is 58.08 g/mol. Molychem Acetone AR carries this CAS number at minimum 99.5% purity.
Use acetone for heavy degreasing and removing resin, adhesive or paint, and for cleaning glass and optics - but it attacks many plastics. Use IPA for electronics, plastic-safe cleaning and a final lens wipe. Many workshops keep both: acetone for heavy cleaning, IPA for sensitive and plastic surfaces.
