Acetone is colorless transparent liquid with special spicy odor. It is easily soluble in water, methyl alochol, diethyl ether, trichloromethane, pyridine and other organic solvents. Acetone is mainly used in explosive, plastic, rubber, fiber, leather, grease, painting and other industries as solvent. Moreover, it also functions as important raw material for synthesizing ketene, acetic anhydride, iodoform...

Acetone is colorless transparent liquid with special spicy odor. It is easily soluble in water, methyl alochol, diethyl ether, trichloromethane, pyridine and other organic solvents. Acetone is mainly used in explosive, plastic, rubber, fiber, leather, grease, painting and other industries as solvent. Moreover, it also functions as important raw material for synthesizing ketene, acetic anhydride, iodoform, polyisoprene rubber, methyl methacrylate, trichloromethane, epoxy resin, and other substances.
Acetone is an important raw material for organic synthesis and can be used in producing epoxy resin, polycarbonate, organic glass, medicine, pesticide, and etc. Moreover, it can also be used as diluent, cleaning agent, extractant or as raw material for producing acetic anhydride, diacetone alcohol, trichloromethane, iodoform, epoxy resin, polyisoprene rubber and methyl methacrylate.
Acetone can be used in perparing organic glass monomer, bisphenol A, diacetone alcohol, hexanediol, MIBK, phorone, isophorone, trichloromethane, iodoform and other important organic chemical raw materials.
