Acetone Contents
Acetone is the raw material of MMA(Methyl Metha Acrylate), BPA, ascorbic acid(Vitamin C), etc.
In addition, acetone is widely used as solvents for synthetic resins, rubber, oil paper and paints,
as well as for acetyl cellulose, nitro cellulose, etc. By applying the cumene process, LG Petrochemical
produces acetone and phenol by using benzene and propylene as raw materials.
Acetone is a colorless liquid with a distinct smell and is inflammable due to its low boiling point.
(Please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet when handling acetone.)
