Acetone is a clear, colorless, highly volatile, and flammable liquid. It is a low-boiling, polar aprotic solvent widely used in the production of plastics, synthetic fibers, pharmaceuticals, and coatings. Known for its excellent solvency power, acetone effectively dissolves many organic compounds, including resins, oils, and cellulose esters.

In addition to industrial and laboratory applications, acetone serves as a critical raw material in the manufacture of methyl methacrylate, bisphenol-A, and other intermediates. It is also used in cleaning formulations, adhesives, paints, and nail polish removers.
