Product Introduction
Acetylacetone (CAS 123-54-6), also known as 2,4-Pentanedione or ACAC, is a colorless to slightly yellow liquid with a pleasant, characteristic odor. It belongs to the class of beta-diketones and exists in a dynamic equilibrium between its keto and enol tautomeric forms. Acetylacetone (CAS 123-54-6) is a powerful bidentate chelating agent, capable of forming stable complexes (acetylacetonates) with a wide variety of transition metal ions. Chemfine provides high-quality Acetylacetone that is essential for the production of catalysts, stabilizers, and specialized pharmaceutical intermediates.

Packaging
Standard industrial packaging options for Acetylacetone include:
-
200kg tight-head steel drums (Standard export packaging).
-
1000kg IBC tanks for high-volume automated manufacturing.
-
ISO Tanks for bulk international maritime transport.
