Which industries use acetone?

Acetone is used in many industries thanks to its versatility and ability to be used for cleaning, as a solvent and chemical intermediate.

Laboratories

Acetone is commonly used to prepare and clean equipment in a laboratory setting, as well as being used in research and experimentation.

Pharmaceutical production

Acetone is used in pharmaceutical production as it can be used as a solvent to produce some medication, as well as being used to synthesise ingredients used in medication.

Health & beauty

In the health and beauty industry, acetone is used to manufacture skin care products and nail polish remover, as well as the production of some cosmetics.

Cost-effectiveness

Unbranded acetone is a lot cheaper than other commercially available name brand products with 1L bottles from just £8.

Dries quickly

Acetone evaporates and dries quickly, so whether you’re cleaning lab equipment, motor parts or removing nail polish, you can get to work quickly.

Environmentally friendly

As 99.9% acetone is extremely pure, it is better for the environment than compound solvents and cleaning agents. It is both biodegradable and doesn’t deplete the ozone layer.
