Acetone

Acetone

Acetone is a pure solvent with an endless variety of applications. It is very aggressive, dries rapidly, and leaves no residue. As an organic compound, it is considered non-toxic and exempt from VOC regulations in most jurisdictions. As a cleaner or stripper, it aggressively dissolves heavy greases and stubborn residues and quickly removes and cleanses fibreglass resins, epoxies, vinyl, adhesives, and lacquers.

Features & Benefits

• Delutes two-part epoxies and fibreglass resins
• Removes stubborn contaminants, grease, and grime.
• Removes sticky residue left on glass and porcelain by adhesive labels and cleans lacquer and epoxy application tools
• Softens: Plastic, Plexiglas, Linoleum, Latex Paint, Glue, Tar, Synthetic Fabrics, and Asphalt.
• After dilution with water, can clean vinyl or fibreglass surfaces
• Rapid evaporation rate
• Highly miscible with other solvents
• Leaves no residues
• VOC-free
• Low toxicity
• CARB compliant
• Not suitable as a thinner for most oil-based paints and coatings

Cleaning: Ideal for comprehensive cleaning applications; acetone has a fast evaporation rate and superior solvent capabilities, perfect for removing tough stains from virtually any surface. It cleans oil-based paint, varnish, polyurethane application tools, lacquer and epoxy application tools, and more. Acetone is so effective that it is used in labs to remove oil and contaminants from beakers and sterilize surgical equipment.

Petroleum Production: Acetone solvent is used as an additive to thin gasoline, allowing easier diffusion inside the engine and improving fuel efficiency.

Labs: In laboratories, acetone is commonly used to conduct organic chemical reactions as a polar aprotic solvent or reactions at lower temperatures since it can be chilled with dry ice. Acetone vapour is used as a fluorescent to trace fluid flow under UV light and as a viable cleaning agent for laboratory glassware.

Pharmaceutical Industry: Since acetone is non-toxic and can be ingested, inhaled, or absorbed via the skin, it is used in fillers and other active components to guarantee the precise dose of medication. It allows the medication to compress into the required density without dissolving.

Cosmetics and Textiles: Acetone is the primary solvent for fingernail polish remover and serves as a solvent for other cosmetic products such as makeup and skin creams. Precise acetone dilutions are essential to remove gums, oils, and other substances from raw textile fibres without damaging the material.

Degreasing: For metal and concrete surfaces, degreasing can be incredibly challenging. The nature of acetone is such that degreasing can be done safely and effectively.
