About Acetone
Acetone is largely consumed in the production of Bisphenol A (BPA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA). It also finds application as a solvent in manufacturing many chemicals. Owing to its high flexibility and strength, MMA is primarily used in the cosmetic industry to manufacture artificial nail products. It is also used to manufacture plastic sheets. MMA also finds medical application in dentistry. In its solid state it is used to make crowns and bridges. BPA is used to manufacture epoxy and polycarbonate resin, which finds extensive applications in manufacturing medical equipment, water bottles, and eye lens glasses.
