Purpose announcement

1. Acetone is a representative low boiling point, fast drying polar solvent. It has strong solubility and is also soluble in water. In addition to being used as solvents for coatings, varnishes, nitro spray paint, it is also used as a solvent and paint remover in the manufacturing of cellulose, cellulose acetate, photographic films, and other materials. Acetone can extract various vitamins, hormones, and petroleum dewaxing. Acetone is also an important chemical raw material used in the production of acetic anhydride, methyl methacrylate, bisphenol A, isopropylidene acetone, methyl isobutyl ketone, hexanediol, chloroform, iodoform, epoxy resin, vitamin C, etc. And used as an extractant, diluent, etc.

2. Used for the production of important organic chemical raw materials such as organic glass monomers, bisphenol A, diacetone alcohol, hexanediol, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl isobutyl methanol, phorone, isophorone, chloroform, iodoform, etc. Used as an excellent solvent in coatings, acetate fiber spinning processes, acetylene storage in steel cylinders, and dewaxing in the refining industry. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is one of the raw materials for vitamin C and the anesthetic Sophora, and is also used as an extractant in the production of various vitamins and hormones. In the pesticide industry, acetone is one of the raw materials for synthesizing propylene pyrethroids.

3. Used as an analytical reagent, such as a solvent. Used as a chromatographic derivative reagent and liquid chromatography eluent.

4. Used in the electronics industry, commonly used as a cleaning and degreasing agent.

5. Commonly used as a solvent for vinyl resin, propylene resin, alkyd paint, cellulose acetate, and various adhesives. It is also widely used in the manufacturing of cellulose acetate, film, film, and plastic, and is also a raw material for the production of methyl methacrylate, methyl isobutyl ketone, bisphenol A, acetic anhydride, vinyl ketone, and furan resin.

6. It can be used as a diluent, detergent, and extractant for vitamins and hormones.

7. Natural acetone also exists in nature, and there are also small amounts of acetone in the human body. In terms of building materials, it is mainly used as the main raw material for aliphatic water reducing agents.
