[News & Trends]:What are the functions and uses of acetone

  Acetone is a colorless and transparent liquid with special odor. It is easily soluble in water and organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, ether, chloroform and pyridine. Flammable, volatile, chemically active. Its vapor mixed with air can form explosive mixtures, the explosive limit of 2. ss% ~ 12.8% (by volume). The carbonyl group of acetone can undergo addition reactions with a variety of nucleophilic reagents. Can react with ammonia derivatives, hydrocyanic acid, acetylenes, organometallic compounds. Acetone can also carry out the reaction of a hydrogen. Vapor and air can form an explosive mixture, in the presence of open flame, high heat is very easy to burn and explode. Can react strongly with oxidizers.

  Six roles and uses of acetone

  1. in industrial applications in the manufacture of bisphenol A, methyl methacrylate (MMA), acetone cyanohydrin, methyl isobutyl ketone and other products, as well as plastics, fibers, drugs and other chemical substances.

  2. In building materials, it is mainly used as the main raw material of aliphatic water reducing agent.

  3. It can be cleaned and de-greased, and can be used with anhydrous ethanol formulation. MOS grade is mainly used for discrete devices and medium and large scale integrated circuits, and BV-III grade is mainly used in the production of ultra-large scale integrated circuits 0.8~1.2μm process technology.

  4. Commonly used as analytical reagent and solvent, chromatographic analysis standard substances.

  5. It can be used to remove the nail polish de-glossing water, and paint thinner.

  6. It can also be used as organic solvent in medicine, paint, plastic, gunpowder, resin, rubber, photographic soft film and other industries.
