Acetone (C3H6O) is a colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic odor, widely used as a solvent. It is the simplest ketone compound, and a common chemical found in many household and industrial products.

Properties of Acetone:

• Solvent: Acetone is an effective solvent for many organic substances and is often used to dissolve lacquer, paint, glue, and fats.

• Volatile: It evaporates quickly and leaves no residue, making it useful in products such as nail polish remover.

• Flammable: Acetone is highly flammable and should be handled with caution.

Applications:

• Nail Polish Remover: Acetone is an important ingredient in many nail polish removers.

• Industrial Solvent: It is used to clean equipment and remove impurities in chemical production.

• Chemical Synthesis: It is used in the production of other chemicals and polymers, such as polycarbonate and acrylic plastics.

Acetone is also naturally found in small amounts in the human body as a byproduct of metabolism, especially during low blood sugar (for example, in fasting or diabetes).

 

Acetone is available in bulk, IBCs, drums, and cans.
