Acetone, also known as Nail Polish Remover, is a colourless, volatile, flammable liquid with a wide range of uses.
Functions
- Solvent: Acetone is an extremely good solvent used for many plastics and other synthetic fibres. It is utilised for thinning polyester resin, cleaning tools, dissolving part epoxies and superglue before they harden. In this respect, it is fantastic for model makers, sculptures and anything involving small plastic kits.
- Degreaser: It can be utilised in the preparation of metal before painting and for high-reliability soldering applications to remove rosin flux after soldering is complete; this helps to prevent the rusty bolt effect.
- Domestic and Niche Uses: Acetone is the primary competitor in cleaning agents such as nail polish remover - it is used in bulk by nail salons. Acetone is a key component of superglue remover and easily removes residues from glass and porcelain. Make-up artists make extensive use of acetone to remove skin adhesive from the netting of wigs and moustaches by immersing the item in an acetone bath and then removing the softened glue residue with a stiff brush. Acetone's ability to loosen hardened glues makes it ideal for arts and crafts
