Acetone Price Today

TLDR: Acetone (Dimethyl Ketone), with the chemical formula(CH3)2CO, is a colorless, highly volatile, and flammable organic solvent. Classified under HSN 29141100, it is a key co-product of Phenol production. The Acetone price today is approximately ₹62.50 – ₹69.50 per KG.

Acetone is the simplest and most important of the aliphatic ketones. Its rapid evaporation rate and ability to dissolve a vast range of organic substances make it an indispensable solvent in the pharmaceutical, coating, and cosmetic industries.

In the Indian market, supply is anchored by domestic giant Deepak Phenolics (Dahej) and supplemented by premium Imported stock (Kandla). As a vital intermediate in the production of Bisphenol-A and Methyl Methacrylate (MMA), Acetone procurement is highly sensitive to the benzene-propylene energy chain. We offer real-time ex-tank visibility to help manufacturers optimize their solvent stocks.

Acetone is a clear liquid with a distinctively pungent, somewhat fruity odor. It is produced alongside Phenol via the Cumene Process, where benzene and propylene are oxidized.

Because it is miscible with water and most organic solvents, it is widely used for equipment cleaning and as a carrier for various chemical reactions. Under the Quality Control Order 2023, all Acetone sold in India must now carry the ISI Mark, confirming it meets the rigorous safety and purity standards of IS 170:2020.

Our inventory is strictly verified against IS 170:2020 (Fifth Revision) and ASTM D329 standards to ensure high-yield performance in downstream manufacturing.

Acetone’s solvency profile makes it a "jack-of-all-trades" in industrial chemistry:

• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a solvent for vitamins, hormones, and drug intermediates; also used in the crystallization of antibiotics.
• Chemical Synthesis: A key raw material for producing Methyl Methacrylate (MMA), Bisphenol-A (BPA), and Diacetone Alcohol.
• Paints & Coatings: Primary solvent for thinning nitrocellulose lacquers, varnishes, and automotive finishes.
• Adhesives: Acts as a cleaning agent and solvent in the production of neoprene and other industrial glues.
• Electronics: Used as a high-precision degreasing agent for printed circuit boards and electronic components.

We maintain strategic stock in the Western chemical corridor to minimize transit risk and costs:

• West - Dahej: Direct access to Deepak Phenolics' ex-factory supply. Ideal for bulk tanker loads serving the GIDC clusters.
• West - Kandla: The primary hub for Imported Acetone, offering competitive port-side pricing for the broader North and West India markets.

Acetone pricing depends on global energy chains and domestic production output: Benzene and Propylene Feedstock Costs: Global crude oil movements establish the base cost, with acetone prices closely tracking upstream benzene and propylene trends at domestic refineries; Domestic Phenol Plant Operating Rates: Since acetone is a co-product of phenol, reduced operating rates at major phenol facilities tighten local availability and increase market prices; BIS Quality Control Order Compliance: Mandatory IS 170:2020 certification restricts non-compliant imports, increasing compliance costs and strengthening domestic price levels; Downstream Bisphenol-A and MMA Demand: Strong consumption from automotive plastics, electronics, and polymer manufacturing sustains bulk demand and supports higher pricing; Import Parity and Port Stocks: Inventory levels at key ports like Kandla and Dahej, along with USD/INR exchange fluctuations, directly influence landed procurement costs.

The Acetone market is currently transitioning due to domestic production expansions and mandatory BIS regulations. We provide:

• Live Price Discovery: Stay updated on the Acetone price today, reflecting the latest revisions by domestic producers like Deepak Phenolics.
• BIS Compliance: We guarantee that all supplied material is IS 170:2020 certified with the mandatory ISI mark.
• Flexible Sourcing: Choose between Domestic (Deepak Phenolics) for reliable ex-plant logistics or Imported grades for port-side pricing advantages.
• Inventory Financing: Use Oxyzo’s credit facilities to manage high-volume solvent procurement, especially during periods of market volatility.
