Acetone is a colorless, volatile liquid with a strong stimulating smell. It is one of the most commonly used solvents in industry and is widely used in the production of paints, adhesives, pesticides, herbicides, lubricants, and other chemical products. In addition, acetone is also used as a cleaning agent, degreasing agent, and extractant.

Acetone is sold in various grades, including industrial grade, pharmaceutical grade, and analytical grade. The difference between these grades mainly lies in their impurity content and purity. The industrial grade acetone is the most commonly used, and its purity requirements are not as high as the pharmaceutical and analytical grades. It is mainly used in the production of paints, adhesives, pesticides, herbicides, lubricants, and other chemical products. The pharmaceutical grade acetone is used in the production of drugs and requires a high purity. The analytical grade acetone is used in scientific research and analytical testing and requires the highest purity.

The purchase of acetone should be carried out in accordance with relevant regulations. In China, the purchase of dangerous chemicals must comply with the regulations of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC) and the Ministry of Public Security (MPS). Before purchasing acetone, companies and individuals must apply for and obtain a license for the purchase of dangerous chemicals from the local SAIC or MPS. In addition, when purchasing acetone, it is recommended to check whether the supplier has a valid license for the production and sale of dangerous chemicals. In addition, to ensure the quality of the acetone, it is recommended to sample and test the product after purchase to ensure that it meets the required standards.
