Acetone
Acetone is a volatile, colorless, and highly flammable solvent known for its excellent solvency, fast evaporation rate, and low toxicity. It is widely used as an industrial cleaner, paint thinner, and precursor for chemical synthesis. Acetone is miscible with water and most organic solvents, making it ideal for coatings, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Its rapid drying properties make it a preferred choice in printing inks, electronics, and laboratory applications.
