Storage & Shipping
Storage Conditions
Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated flammable-liquid storage area. Segregate from acids, strong oxidizers, oxygen and incompatible metals. Keep away from heat, sparks, flames and hot surfaces.
Packaging Integrity
Inspect compatible drum closures and seals before unloading. Preserve dangerous-goods and lot labels, secure drums upright and maintain spill containment. Typical loading reference: 20 MT per 20-foot FCL.
Packaging
200 kg compatible drums
Handling & Protection
Use closed transfer and effective local exhaust ventilation. Wear chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles, face protection and protective clothing. Avoid all skin contact and vapour inhalation; use grounded equipment, non-sparking tools and appropriate explosion-proof controls.
What Is Acetylacetone?
Acetylacetone, CAS 123-54-6, is the liquid beta-diketone also known as 2,4-pentanedione. It has formula C5H8O2 and molecular weight 100.12 g/mol. ZXCHEM supplies colourless to light-yellow clear liquid with purity ≥99.0%; the product identity and form are liquid acetylacetone.
The supply specification sets moisture at ≤0.2%, acidity at ≤0.1% and colour at ≤30 APHA. These limits support incoming inspection for chemical synthesis and formulation. Use the agreed specification and batch certificate of analysis when assessing purity and contamination.
Acetylacetone is used as a chelating ligand in metal-acetylacetonate preparation and as an intermediate in selected organic syntheses. It is also evaluated in catalyst, coating and other specialty-chemical systems. Match water, acidity and metal contamination controls to the intended process and establish conditions through technical trials.
Standard packing is 200 kg compatible drums, with a typical 20 MT loading reference per 20-foot FCL. The material is UN 2310, PENTANE-2,4-DIONE, Class 3 with subsidiary risk 6.1, packing group III. It is flammable and toxic through skin contact or inhalation; use closed transfer, ignition control, effective ventilation and appropriate protective equipment.

Acetylacetone FAQ
Which Acetylacetone grade should I choose?
Compare Purity ≥99.0% against your process requirements. Check the TDS for assay and impurity limits, then test a sample for compatibility and performance in your process.
Can I request a Acetylacetone sample for testing?
Request a free sample for testing. Tell us the intended 2,4-Pentanedione application, preferred grade and the tests you plan to perform, so that we can arrange a suitable evaluation sample and technical information.
How is Acetylacetone packed and shipped?
Standard packing is 200 kg compatible drums. The usual MOQ is 1,000 kg, with a lead time of approximately 14 days from order confirmation. The reference bulk transport classification is Class 3 — Flammable liquid; subsidiary risk 6.1.
Which documents are available for Acetylacetone?
The TDS covers supply specifications; the reference SDS covers safety and transport. Both can be downloaded on this page. A batch COA can be provided with supply. Request documents for the grade and physical form you are ordering.
