Ketones​

From industrial-grade products to pharmaceuticals, ketones are useful chemicals. 

What Makes Ketones Unique?

Ketones are simple chemical compounds derived from organic sources, such as certain sugars. They include bonded carbon and oxygen, and are considered “simple” because they lack reactive groups such as chlorine. They are both notably stable and usefully reactive. Other features of ketones include the pleasant scent of liquid ketones (solid ketones are odorless), and water solubility.

While ketones come from natural sources, they also can be synthetically manufactured.  

We distribute the following types of ketones:

• ACETONE

• METHYL ETHYL KETONE (MEK)

• METHYL ISOBUTYL KETONE (MIBK)
  

Endless Uses for Quality Ketones

There is a reason ketone production is as high as it is — versatility. Almost any industrial sector can benefit from quality ketone products. While they are most widely recognized as solvents, ketones also have an impressive functionality for other applications, including:

• Resins
• Lacquers
• Perfumes
• Flavorings
• Dyes
• Chloroform
• Plastics
• Pharmaceuticals
• Chemistry

Of course, this list just scratches the surface of uses for ketones. 

The Challenges of Procuring Quality Ketones

It goes without saying that your business can benefit from high-quality ketones, but there are plenty of challenges to getting your chemical products where they need to be. That is, unless you can team with the right distributor.

The world of chemicals is one of the most highly regulated. You have to consider the risk of personal exposure or cross-contamination, for example. And beyond blending and moving chemical products, you have to be sure that regulations and best practices are followed during warehousing and shipping. One mistake can be incredibly costly and expose you to liability.

We at Interchem oversee the process on your behalf — from start to finish. We do the heavy lifting when it comes to logistics so that you can focus on your business.
