Description

General description

Acetone is the most widely used solvent for cleaning purposes. It is also used as a precursor in the manufacture of polymers, bisphenol A, and methyl methacrylate.

Application

Acetone can be used as a solvent in the:

• Ozonolysis of alkenes to aldehydes or ketones in the presence of solubilized water.
• Catalyst-free glycerolysis of sunflower oil to synthesize partial glycerides.
• Free radical polymerization of styrene to synthesize polystyrene.
• Lipase-catalyzed esterification of isoascorbic acid with palmitic acid to form isoascorbyl palmitate.

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 .

Features and Benefits

• Relatively low toxicity compared to other industrial solvents
• Highly volatile
• Ozone-stable solvent
