3-Pentanone

Product Overview

3-Pentanone, frequently recognized within the chemical industry as Diethyl Ketone, represents a vital aliphatic ketone utilized extensively in organic synthesis and agrochemical manufacturing. Our facility produces this compound under rigorous quality management systems to ensure consistent molecular integrity and performance. As a key building block, it serves primarily as a precursor in the production of specialized herbicides, including Pendimethalin. We prioritize safety and purity in every batch, delivering a reliable solution for large-scale industrial applications.

Technical Specifications

Our manufacturing process adheres to international standards, guaranteeing that every drum meets the specified physical and chemical properties. The following table outlines the critical parameters verified during our quality control inspection.

Industrial Applications

The primary utility of 3-Pentanone lies in its role as a strategic intermediate within the agrochemical sector. It is extensively employed in the synthesis pathway of Pendimethalin, a widely used dinitroaniline herbicide. The high purity level of our ketone ensures optimal reaction yields and minimizes downstream impurities in the final agricultural product. Beyond herbicide synthesis, this solvent and reagent are applicable in various organic synthesis routes requiring a stable ketone structure. Our technical team supports clients in optimizing their synthesis routes for maximum efficiency.

Quality Assurance And Safety

We understand that consistency is paramount in chemical manufacturing. Each production lot undergoes comprehensive testing via Gas Chromatography (GC) to verify assay levels and impurity profiles. We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to validate compliance with agreed specifications. Regarding safety, 3-Pentanone is highly flammable and should be handled with appropriate precautions. It is stable under normal conditions but incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and strong bases. Proper ventilation and grounding are essential during transfer operations to prevent static discharge.

Storage And Packaging

To maintain product integrity, 3-Pentanone must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Containers should remain tightly closed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and vapor release. We offer flexible packaging solutions, typically supplying in 25kg drums, though custom packaging configurations are available upon request to suit specific logistical requirements. Our global logistics network ensures timely delivery while maintaining all regulatory compliance for hazardous materials transportation.
