Description
Acetone, a colorless liquid also known as Propanone, is a solvent used in manufacture of plastics and other industrial products. Acetone may also be used to a limited extent in household products, including cosmetics and personal care products.
Acetone is also very useful because it is miscible (mixable) with all common solvents and water and thus most common paints, finishes and coloring products. So acetone can be added in significant percentages to most of the coating materials we use.
Also important, acetone is the fastest evaporating and one of the strongest of all commonly available solvents and it is very dry (non-oily). So it makes an excellent cleaner and degreaser and this is how it is used in most other industries.
