Ketone Reagents
Ketone reagents are laboratory-grade ketone solvents used for cleaning, extraction, and chromatography, sourced by analytical, pharma, and research laboratories. The category spans acetone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), and cyclohexanone, supplied across reagent and chromatography grades.
Grades and specifications are defined by assay and trace-impurity limits. AR/ACS reagent grade carries a high assay with controlled water and non-volatile residue; HPLC and residue-analysis grades are additionally specified for low UV absorbance and very low evaporation residue, suiting trace and chromatographic work. Key parameters include assay percentage, water content (often by Karl Fischer), acidity, and residue after evaporation. Each lot ships with a CoA reporting actual results; CAS and HS classification are provided on documentation rather than asserted here.
Packaging is laboratory-scale: amber and clear glass bottles (1 L, 2.5 L) for chromatography grades, with larger volumes in HDPE or metal containers and bulk in drums. Ketones are volatile and flammable, which is reflected in packaging and storage notes.
Compliance and logistics are coordinated where required: CoA per lot, SDS, GHS/CLP labelling for EU, and ADR/IMDG classification with UN-number framing (ketones are typically flammable liquids, Class 3). REACH registration or Only-Representative coordination for the substance applies where required; SABER/SASO for Saudi Arabia is arranged on request. Some ketones face precursor-monitoring controls in certain markets, flagged at inquiry.
Himalay's verified manufacturer and exporter partners supply ketone reagents with CoA per batch, SDS, REACH/CLP compliance coordinated for EU, GHS labelling, and SABER for Saudi Arabia handled as part of the standard order flow.
