Acetone
(2-propanone, dimethyl ketone)

It is used as a raw material for the synthesis of ketene, bisphenol A, acetic anhydride, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl methacrylate, diacetone alcohol, mesityl oxide, diphenylpropane, isophorone. The latter is used in the synthesis of polyurethanes, epoxy resins and polycarbonates.

It dissolves well many organic substances, for example, acetyl and nitrocellulose, waxes, alkaloids, as well as a number of salts.

The use of acetone for the removal of waxes from lubricating oils, degreasing of wool and fur, in the production of artificial leather, for the extraction of various essential oils is becoming more important.
Acetone is a popular solvent that greatly surpasses turpentine, white spirit and kerosene in terms of safety.

In industry, it is used in the production of varnishes, pharmaceuticals, as a solvent for cellulose acetate and celluloid, for cleaning surfaces in various industrial processes.

In addition, acetone is actively used when filling cylinders in order to store acetylene. One volume of this substance dissolves about 25 volumes of acetylene under normal pressure and temperature conditions.
