Chemical Properties:

Acetone (also known as propanone, dimethyl ketone, 2-propanone, propan-2-one and β-ketopropane) is the simplest representative of the group of chemical compounds known as ketones. It is a colorless, volatile, flammable liquid.
Acetone is miscible with water and serves as an important laboratory solvent for cleaning purposes. Acetone is a highly effective solvent for many organic compounds such as Methanol, ethanol, ether, chloroform, pyridine, etc., and is the active ingredient in nail polish remover. It is also used to make various plastics, fibers, drugs, and other chemicals.

Acetone exists in nature in the Free State. In the plants, it mainly exists in essential oils, such as tea oil, rosin essential oil, citrus oil, etc.; human urine and blood and animal urine, marine animal tissue and body fluids contain a small amount of acetone.

Application:

Acetone is an important raw material for organic synthesis, used in the production of epoxy resins,polycarbonate, organic glass, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, etc.. It is also a good solvent, used in paints, adhesives, cylinders acetylene, etc.. Also used as diluent, cleaning agent, extractant. It is also an important raw material for the manufacture of acetic anhydride, diacetone alcohol, chloroform, iodoform, epoxy resin, polyisoprene rubber, methyl methacrylate, etc. It is used as solvent in smokeless gunpowder, celluloid, acetate fiber, spray paint and other industries. Used as an extractant in oil and grease industries, etc. [9]

Used in the production of organic glass monomer, bisphenol A, diacetone alcohol, hexanediol, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl isobutyl methanol, phorone, isophorone, chloroform, iodoform and other important organic chemical raw materials. It is used as an excellent solvent in paint, acetate spinning process, acetylene storage in cylinders, and dewaxing in oil refining industry.
