Acetone – 5L – 25L – 210L

Description

Acetone – Fast-Evaporating Industrial Solvent

Acetone is a high-purity, volatile solvent known for its strong dissolving power and rapid evaporation. It effectively removes paints, coatings, greases, waxes, and adhesive residues while leaving little to no residue on surfaces. Commonly used in industrial cleaning, manufacturing, surface preparation, and laboratory environments, acetone must be handled with care due to its flammability and vapour strength.
