What is acetone used for?

This solvent is widely used as a solvent within industry and in laboratories. It is used, among other things, for degreasing surfaces and removing glue, resin and paint residues from hard, non-porous surfaces such as metal and glass.

Acetone is also often used in the painting and coatings industry, for example when mixing paints, lacquers and certain adhesive systems.

Within the chemical industry, acetone is used as a process solvent, for example in syntheses and production steps where a volatile solvent is required. In laboratories, it is often used to rinse and dry glassware, as it displaces residual water and evaporates quickly.

Why choose acetone ≥ 99.5%?

Acetone combines a strong dissolving power with rapid evaporation. This makes it practical in work where you want to get through quickly and where you don’t want a long-lasting wet or “sticky” surface. The technical purity (≥ 99.5%) ensures consistent behavior in recurring processes, for example in painting practice, workshops and laboratory routines.

Storage and use

Acetone should be kept cool and well ventilated. Keep the fabric away from heat, sparks and open flames. Because the substance is very volatile, fumes may be released when opening and using the packaging. Only use the product in ventilated environments and always follow the applicable safety regulations within your organization.
