Applications of Acetone:

Industrial Solvent – 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 serves as a precursor for the production of chemicals like methyl methacrylate (MMA), bisphenol A (BPA), and various resins.

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

Cleaning Agent – It is used as a degreaser for cleaning machinery, electronics, and laboratory equipment.

Paints and Coatings – Acetone is an effective thinner and remover for paints, varnishes, and adhesives.

Pharmaceuticals – It is utilized in the production of medications and as an excipient in drug formulations.

Automotive and Aerospace – Acetone is used in fuel additives, as a cleaning agent for engine parts, and in composite materials.

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

Textile Industry – Acetone is employed in the manufacturing of synthetic fibers like rayon and in dyeing processes.

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