How acetone is involved in our daily life
When you hear someone say ‘Acetone’ what is the first thing that comes to your mind?
A chemical!, A word which you had read in your chemistry book quiet some time ago. Yes! quiet true. You would be taken by surprise when I say acetone is just next to you & in most of the things you use.
Bringing back your favorite nail colors
I wouldn’t be doing justice if i don’t talk about the association of acetone with nail polish and nail polish remover. The flowing consistency in nail polish is due to the presence of acetone, once it evaporates the polish hardens. You can use the nail polish remover to bring back the consistency as it contains acetone. Nail polish removers are good at removing the darkest nail colors and for preparing the nails for pedicure and manicure treatment.
Over and above
Looking beyond house hold uses & applications, industrial uses of acetone are numerous,they are used in the manufacture of chemicals like methyl methacrylate (MMA) & bisphenol-A (BPA), as a solvent in varnishes,lacquers, paints, printing inks, to make photographic films, drugs, plastics, oils,waxes, glues and many more.
You should also be aware that the human body produces acetone as a byproduct of metabolism and is excreted by the kidney. Concentration and over exposure to any chemical will move us away from the safe zone, however clinical studies have proven that acetone has no carcinogenic effect in humans.
Having brought the word Acetone from books to daily usage I am sure you would be able to relate to it better now.Acetone can be purchased online in small quantities for domestic use ; ibuychemikals is one of the trusted online chemical store.
An entire series on how we walk our lives with chemicals is on the way. Stay tuned.
