Products Details
Acetone
Acetone is a widely used industrial solvent and key petrochemical intermediate, known for its strong solvency, fast evaporation rate, and broad compatibility with organic materials.
Product Description
Acetone (C₃H₆O) is a clear, colorless, highly volatile liquid with a characteristic odor. It is one of the simplest and most commonly used ketones in industrial and commercial applications.
It is primarily used as a solvent in the production of plastics, coatings, adhesives, and pharmaceuticals. Acetone is also a key raw material in the manufacture of chemicals such as Bisphenol-A (BPA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA).
Due to its fast evaporation and excellent solvency, it is widely used in cleaning, degreasing, and formulation processes.
