Description Back to Top
Acetone, FCC also known as 2-propanone, is an organic compound and a colorless, flammable liquid. Due to its miscibility with water, it serves as an important solvent. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined acetone is safe for use as an indirect food additive in adhesives and food-contact coatings and is regarded as a Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) substance at certain concentrations. Spectrum Chemical offers over 300 Food Grade (FCC) chemical ingredients packaged in laboratory size bottles to production drum quantities and are manufactured, packaged and stored under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) per 21CFR part 211 in FDA registered and inspected facilities.
