Processing Methods & Reference Formulations
A. Skin Cleanser
Acetone is volatile and flammable, so incorporate it after cooling the batch to avoid evaporation losses and safety hazards. Since acetone can strip natural oils, balance it with humectants (like glycerin) or emollients (like panthenol or aloe vera) to reduce skin dryness and irritation.
| Key Ingredients | Indicative Dosage (% w/w) |
|---|---|
| Ethanol | 64–70% |
| Acetone | 5–6% |
| Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride | 0.06–0.10% |
| Glycerin | 2–3% |
| Water / balance | ~28–29% |
B. Nail polish remover
Acetone should be added in the final mixing stage at room temperature, in a closed system, to minimize evaporation and flammability risks. To counteract acetone’s drying effect on nails and skin, incorporate emollients or humectants like glycerin, panthenol, castor oil, or aloe vera extract.
| Key Ingredients | Indicative Dosage (% w/w) |
|---|---|
| Acetone | 36–60% |
| Ethyl Acetate | 10–35% |
| Ethanol | 5–20% |
| Water | 5–20% |
| Glycerin | 3–15% |
C. Fragrance Spray
Due to its volatility and flammability, acetone should be added after cooling the base to room temperature and mixed under closed conditions to minimize evaporation loss. Test for solubility and stability of fragrance oils in acetone, as it may alter scent structure or cause hazing with some essential oils or fixatives.
| Key Ingredients | Indicative Dosage (% w/w) |
|---|---|
| Deionized Water | 71% |
| Fragrance Blend | 1.5% |
| Acetone | 5% |
| Acetonitrile | 12% |
| Propylene Glycol n-Propyl Ether | 10% |
D. Paint or Varnish Remover
Combine acetone with slower-evaporating solvents (e.g., methylene chloride, NMP, or alcohols) to balance evaporation rate, extend working time, and improve stripping efficiency. Incorporate acetone at room temperature and under ventilation to manage its high volatility and flammability. Mix in a closed system if possible.
| Key Ingredients | Indicative Dosage (% w/w) |
|---|---|
| Acetone | 30% |
| Methylene Chloride | 50% |
| Ethanolamine | 5% |
| Cellulose Derivative (thickener) | 2% |
| Water | 13% |

About Acetone
Welcome to Elchemy, where innovation meets excellence in chemical manufacturing. Our flagship product, Aceton, stands as a testament to our commitment to quality and precision. As one of the leading acetone manufacturers, we pride ourselves on delivering a product that not only meets but exceeds industry standards.
Aceton, chemically known as propanone, boasts the molecular formula C₃H₆O. This colorless, volatile liquid is a member of the ketone family, characterized by its carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two methyl groups (CH₃). This unique molecular structure imparts Aceton with its remarkable properties, making it an indispensable solvent in various industries.
At room temperature, Aceton is a clear, colorless liquid with a distinctive, sharp odor. It has a boiling point of 56°C (133°F) and a melting point of -95°C (-139°F), highlighting its high volatility. This volatility ensures rapid evaporation, a crucial feature for processes requiring quick drying times. Additionally, Aceton is fully miscible with water, alcohol, and most organic solvents, enhancing its versatility and utility in diverse chemical processes.
Aceton is renowned for its stability under normal conditions, yet it remains highly reactive, making it an excellent solvent for a wide range of organic compounds. Its high polarity, low viscosity, and low surface tension contribute to its superior solvency capabilities. However, it’s important to note that Aceton is highly flammable, with a flashpoint of -20°C (-4°F). Proper handling and storage are essential to ensure safety and maintain its integrity.
Our Aceton is produced using the cumene process, a method that guarantees high efficiency and purity. This process involves the oxidation of cumene (isopropylbenzene) to produce cumene hydroperoxide, which is then cleaved to yield Aceton and phenol. This method not only ensures a consistent supply of high-quality Aceton but also aligns with our commitment to sustainable and custom chemical manufacturing practices.
Choosing Elchemy’s Aceton means opting for a product that embodies superior quality, consistency, and reliability. Our rigorous quality control measures and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities ensure that every batch of Aceton meets the highest standards. Whether you’re in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, or any other industry requiring a top-tier solvent, Elchemy’s Aceton is your go-to solution.
Experience the Elchemy difference with Aceton – where quality meets innovation, and excellence is a standard. Join the ranks of satisfied clients who trust us for their chemical needs and discover why we are a preferred choice among acetone manufacturers.
