Acetone is a strong solvent that is used in nail polish removers. It is appropriate for natural nails only. It can be found in some astringents/toners/fresheners.

A volatile liquid used as an industrial solvent. Acetone is also one of the ketone bodies that is formed when the body uses fat instead of glucose (sugar) for energy. The formation of acetone is usually a sign that cells lack insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin that is available, as occurs in diabetes. Acetone is excreted from the body in [..]

A chemical substance found naturally in small amounts in plants, trees, volcanoes, and forest fires. Acetone is also made by the body when fats are broken down. It is also found in tobacco smoke, car [..]

Chemically described as CH3COCH3, created from the fermentation of sugar and starch. Acetone can be found in the urine of a diabetic animal, the breath of certain lactating animals, and in blood. When [..]

colorless volatile liquid, 1839, literally "a derivative of acetic acid," from Latin acetum "vinegar" (see acetic) + Greek-based chemical suffix -one, which owes its use in chemist [..]

Simplest ketone molecule, formula CH3COCH3, formed in the oxidation of propane and several larger hydrocarbons; used widely as an organic solvent, due to its high miscibility with water. Its photolysi [..]

Chemical used to bring ferrules to a high luster as a final step in assembly. Acetone is rubbed onto the ferrule with a rag or towel in order to obtain the luster. Acetone actually melts plastic.

noun. a drab, gaseous fluid with a sugary scent that develops when large sums pool in the blood and liquid waste of individuals with diabetes or other metabolic illnesses.

A chemical formed in the blood when the body uses fat instead of glucose (sugar) for energy. If acetone forms, it usually means that the cells do not have enough insulin, or cannot use the insulin tha [..]

An organic liquid chemical used in the manufacture of some types of film cement. Also used to clean film splicing equipment. (Film Editing)

(n) the simplest ketone; a highly inflammable liquid widely used as an organic solvent and as material for making plastics

Acetone is a popular expression for the organic compound Propanone. Acetone is an important solvent frequently used for cleaning processes. Quite often surfaces are treated with Acetone before the cleaning process continues with plasma treatment. It is miscible with water and other organic solvents. Acetone is extremely flamable.      

A colourless, volatile, inflammable liquid (CH3COCH3).

A very fast evaporating solvent with high solvency for certain types of compounds and resins. Has a …

Illustrated Glossary of Organic Chemistry Acetone: The simplest ketone. Also polar (ε = 21) aprotic solvent of molecular formula C3H6O. Also called 2-propanone or dimethyl ketone. Molecular Structure [..]

A widely used, highly voatile solvent.  It is readily absorbed by breathing, ingestion or contact with the skin.  Workers who have inhaled acetone have reported respiratory problems.

solvent chemical used in certain processing solutions that contain materials not normally soluble in water.

A colorless liquid used as a solvent and an antiseptic. It is one of the Ketone Bodies produced during Ketoacidosis.

A colorless liquid used as a solvent and an antiseptic. It is one of the ketone bodies produced during ketoacidosis.

A colourless liquid used to clean glue off hair lace and is an ingredient in many nail polish removers. Due to the fumes given off, it should only be used in well ventilated areas. Flammable, so it mu [..]

<chemical> A colourless, flammable liquid which is used as a solvent (it is most familiar as the solvent in nail polish remover). The simplest ketone, it mixes with water, ethyl alcohol, and most oils. It melts at -95.4 deg C. And boils at 56.2 deg C. It is naturally found in very tiny quantities in the body fluids and tissues of healthy peop [..]

A chemical formed in the blood when the body uses fat instead of glucose (sugar) for energy. If acetone forms, it usually means that the cells do not have enough insulin, or cannot use the insulin that is in the blood, to use glucose for energy.

An organic solvent of industrial and chemical significance, acetone is capable of dissolving many fats, resins and cellulose esters. It is used extensively in the manufacture of artificial fibres and explosives, as a chemical intermediate in pharmaceuticals, and as a solvent for vinyl and acrylic resins, lacquers, paints, inks, cosmetics (such as n [..]

A filler added to acetylene cylinders, capable of absorbing 25 times its own volume of acetylene.

(organic compound) A colourless, volatile, flammable liquid ketone, (CH₃)₂CO, used as a solvent.

One of the chemicals called ketones. These are produced when there is too little insulin present and the body uses fat for energy. Acetone can be smelt on the breath when the level of ketones is raised. Acetone in the urine usually means that more insulin is needed.
