Acetone
Acetone (also known as dimethyl ketone and 2-propanone) is a clear, colorless, low-boiling, flammable, volatile liquid
characterized by rapid evaporation and a faintly aromatic, sweetish odor. It is readily miscible in most organic solvents
and completely miscible, in all proportions, in water. Acetone is one of the simplest aliphatic ketones, and is an excellent
solvent for a wide range of gums, resins, waxes, fats, greases, oils, dyestuffs and cellulosics. It is widely used as a
chemical intermediate in the production of methyl isobutyl ketone and other solvents, and in the production of such
important chemicals as bis-phenol-A and methyl methacrylate. It is also used in the manufacture of a wide variety of
coatings and plastics.
