Who buys acetone by the railcar?
High-volume acetone users include MMA/acrylic and resin producers, paint and coatings plants, printing ink manufacturers, adhesives and sealants producers, composites and gel-coat manufacturers, and pharmaceutical and specialty chemical synthesis operations. If your plant consumes a tanker or more of acetone per month, a railcar or dedicated tanker program usually cuts your per-gallon cost significantly versus drums and totes.
How much acetone is in a railcar?
A standard tank car holds approximately 25,000 to 30,000 gallons of acetone — roughly 165,000 to 197,000 lb per car. One railcar replaces four to five tank trucks, which is why railcar programs deliver the lowest per-gallon cost for high-volume users.
How much acetone is in a tank truck?
A typical chemical tank truck delivers about 5,500 to 6,500 gallons of acetone (approximately 42,000 to 48,000 lb), the standard increment for plants consuming acetone weekly or monthly.
Railcar vs. tank truck: which is cheaper?
Railcar is the lowest unit cost if your site is rail-served and consumes 25,000+ gallons per delivery cycle. Tank truck wins on flexibility and works for any site with bulk storage. RightPath quotes both so you can compare all-in delivered cost. See our guide to buying acetone in bulk for the full cost breakdown.
