Applications of acetone:

Industrial Solvents – Acetone is widely used as a solvent in industries such as pharmaceuticals, plastics, and textiles due to its ability to dissolve many organic compounds.

Chemical synthesis – It is a precursor for the production of chemicals such as methyl methacrylate (MMA), bisphenol A (BPA), and various resins.

Cosmetics & Personal Care – Acetone is a key ingredient in nail polish removers that are also used in skin care and chemical peels.

Detergent – It is used as a degreaser for cleaning machinery, electronics, and lab equipment.

Paints and coatings – Acetone is an effective thinner and remover used in paints, varnishes, and adhesives.

Pharmaceuticals – It is used as an excipient in the production of drugs and pharmaceutical formulations.

Automotive & Aerospace – Acetone is used in fuel additives, cleaners for engine components, and composites.

Laboratory Reagent – It is commonly used as a solvent and cleaning agent in scientific research and laboratories.

Textile industry – Acetone is used in the manufacture of synthetic fibers such as rayon and in dyeing processes.

Explosives and pyrotechnics – It plays a role in the synthesis of certain explosive compounds.
