Product Information
Acetone is a colorless, volatile, and flammable liquid with a distinct sweet, fruity odor. It is the simplest ketone, with the chemical formula C₃H₆O, and is highly miscible with water and most organic solvents. Acetone is widely used as a solvent in laboratories, industry, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals due to its ability to dissolve many resins, oils, and plastics. It also occurs naturally in small amounts in the human body and in the environment (e.g., plants, smoke).
Despite its common use in nail polish removers and cleaning agents, acetone is classified as flammable and may cause eye irritation and drowsiness if inhaled in large amounts. Proper ventilation and handling precautions are essential in workplaces.

Application(s)
Acetone may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte in human breath and plasma by various gas chromatography techniques.
Acetone′s luminesence intensity is dependent upon the solution components . The absorption of UV light by acetone, results in its photolysis and the production of radials.
