white or yellowish transparent liquid with aromatic flavor. Relative density 0. 9387 (20 ℃). Melting Point -44 °c. Boiling point 167.9 °c. Refractive index 1.4232. Flash point 13 °c. Soluble in water, ethanol, ether and chloroform, unstable, and alkali or in atmospheric distillation when the decomposition. Long-term storage at room temperature is easy to polymerize.
acetone is obtained by condensation under the action of a basic catalyst.
It is used as an intermediate in the manufacture of isopropylidene acetone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl isobutyl methanol and hexanediol, chlorone, isophorone from acetone; It is also widely used as a paint brightener, an amino lacquer, a diluent for Nitro paint, and acetyl cellulose, epoxy resin and other solvents.
This product stimulates eyes, skin and respiratory mucosa. Enters the body through the respiratory and digestive tracts, affects the nervous system, damages the liver and stomach. Inhalation of high concentrations of vapor will form pulmonary edema, even Coma. Long-term exposure can lead to dermatitis.
External use of iron drum or glass bottle is lined with a wooden box for packing. Store in a cool and ventilated silo, away from heat source and fire, avoid direct sunlight; Store and transport with oxidant and acid Isolation.
