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 has many uses, including chemical preparations, solvents, and nail washes. One of the most common applications is as a component of other chemical formulations.
The formulation and generation of other chemical formulations can use acetone in proportions of up to 75%. For example, acetone is used in the production of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and bisphenol A (BPA)
