What is acetone used for?

This solvent is widely used in industry and laboratories. It is used, among other things, to degrease surfaces and remove adhesive, resin and paint residue from hard, non-porous surfaces such as metal and glass.

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

In 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 because it displaces residual water and evaporates quickly.

Why choose acetone ≥ 99.5%?

Acetone combines strong solvency with rapid evaporation. This makes it practical for work that needs to progress quickly without leaving a surface wet or sticky for long. Its technical purity (≥ 99.5%) provides consistent performance in recurring procedures, for example in painting, workshops and laboratory routines.

Storage and use

Store acetone in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep it away from heat, sparks and open flames. Because the substance is highly volatile, vapours may be released when the container is opened and used. Use the product only in ventilated areas and always follow the safety regulations applicable within your organisation.
