Diacetone Alcohol — Industrial Grade
Allzone Trading supplies Diacetone Alcohol as a clear colourless liquid to manufacturers and formulators in Canada and international B2B markets. Also referenced as 4-Hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone, DAA. Diacetone Alcohol is a ketone-alcohol solvent with strong dissolving power and moderate evaporation rate. In coatings it adjusts the evaporation profile of the solvent blend and improves flow and levelling; it is also used in adhesives, printing inks and as an intermediate in chemical synthesis.

Technical & procurement detail
What Diacetone Alcohol is and what it does+
Diacetone Alcohol is a ketone-alcohol solvent with strong dissolving power and moderate evaporation rate. In coatings it adjusts the evaporation profile of the solvent blend and improves flow and levelling; it is also used in adhesives, printing inks and as an intermediate in chemical synthesis.
Evaporation profile is part of the solvent choice+
DAA is a moderate evaporator compared with faster ketone solvents. Whether it fits depends on the whole solvent blend, the application method and the drying conditions, not on the single-material boiling point. State the other solvents in your blend and the application method you use.
Grade, purity basis and documentation are confirmed per enquiry+
Commercial grades of the same solvent differ in purity, water content, colour and residual impurities, and they are not interchangeable. State the grade, the specification basis, the packaging you can receive and the documentation your process requires, and the matching supplier specification is requested.
Documentation and specification+
Assay, particle size, solvent residue, microbiological limits and heavy-metal limits differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable specification with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
Frequently asked questions
