(Styrene solubility) - The percentage of the sizing on the glass fiber that is dissolved off the strand in acetone (or styrene) after soaking in the solvent.
Dimethyl ketone, a colorless, low boiling, volatile liquid soluble in water and many other organic liquids. Commonly used for a solvent for adhesives. Highly flammable (Rose and de Torres 1992).
A highly volatile liquid that is one of the primary solvents of adhesives, sealers, and prosthetic plastics.
a solvent used in nail polish, nail polish removers, and astringents that can cause nausea, ear, nose, and throat irritation, and dermatitis.
A colorless, volatile, extremely flammable liquid ketone, CH3COCH3, widely used as an organic solvent.
A ketone group solvent that is used to dissolve polyester resins. Used to a large extent for clean up of tools in fiberglass operations.
A very fast evaporating paint solvent.
A colorless, volatile liquid with a sweet odor. It is considered the least toxic solvent in industry. It can occur naturally. It is used in the production of lubricating oils, chloroform, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, paints, varnishes and lacquers. If present in water, it is more likely to volatilize or biodegrade before bioaccumulating or adsorbing to sediments. Acetone will also readily volatilize and biodegrade in soil. It is also a common laboratory contaminant, so its presence in a sample does not always indicate its presence in the environment. Synonyms - Dimethylketone and 2-propanone.

A fast evaporating, highly flammable solvent that is a member of the ketone family. Used in some lacquer solvents and wood fillers.
A highly flammable and toxic cleaning fluid used to remove uncured resin from tools and clothing. Acetone is a solvent which will ruin some synthetic plastic such as rayon and Dacron.
Solvent, Cellulose glues and a wide range of products e.g. paint thinners. Weak nervous toxin.
The simplest ketone. A highly flammable, water soluble solvent. Flash point of 0°F. Explosive limits of 2.6% to 12.8%.
Flammable volatile liquid with distinctive odor. Reacts explosively with hydrogen peroxide. Irritating to eyes, respiratory tract and skin. May be absorbed by inhalation. Can cause changes in liver's ability to metabolize chemicals, kidney damage, dizziness, sedation and coma.
the simplest ketone; a highly inflammable liquid widely used as an organic solvent and as material for making plastics
A very active solvent used mainly in gravure inks. The fastest drying solvent in the ketone family.
A chemical found in nail polish removers and other products” ( Levinthal, 264).
a colorless solvent for fat, oils, and waxes, which is obtained by fermentation (inhalation can irritate lungs, and large amounts have a narcotic effect).
A colorless flammable liquid that is highly soluble in water. It is the most common ingredient in many commercial solvents, the most familiar being nail polish remover. It is sometimes used to remove varnish and wax from antique furniture. Acetone is poisonous, smells terrible, and should be in any restorer's arsenal.
A multipurpose solvent for use in cleaning, etc. That which is available from chemical supply houses such as VWR is just too purified (and expensive) for our uses, so we buy from Douglas & Sturgess, Inc., at a rate of $30.00 per 5 gallon container.
A solvent used to clean up polyester casting resin while a liquid. Rubbing alcohol is also suitable for cleanup.
A volatile, flammable, water-soluble solvent used for clean-up.
high toned estery aroma, connected with the ethyl ester acetate or with nail varnish -like amyl acetate.
Chemical substance produced during breakdown of body fat (see also ketones).
An organic solvent (CH3COCH3) which has zero ODP.
Flammable, volatile, toxic chemical solvent used to clean polyester resin from tools, etc.
A very fast evaporating solvent with high solvency for certain types of compounds and resins. Has a characteristic ether-like odor.
A solvent used in fast dry, film building coatings. Good solvent, with a low flash point.
A volatile solvent, used to remove or clean paint, inks, resins and glues
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. Acetone passes through the body into the urine. Someone with a lot of acetone in the body can have breath that smells fruity and is called "acetone breath." See also: Ketone bodies.
solvent chemical used in certain processing solutions that contain materials not normally soluble in water.
a strong-smelling colourless liquid
A powerful ketone-type lacquer solvent
One of the larger classes of chemicals called ketones.
It can be prevalent in older reds and is a flaw If overly apparent. The nail polish smell suggests volatility.
The smell of nail polish remover; a fault if too predominant. Usually prevails in older reds.
A cleaning fluid used to remove uncured plastic resin from brushes and clothing.
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 nail polish remover), and varnishes. It is used in the preparation of paper coatings, adhesives, and is also employed as a starting material in the synthesis of many compounds.
A volatile organic liquid commonly used to check for vacuum leaks and cleaning parts with a minimal amount of residue. Reagent Grade is best for minimizing residue when cleaning.
One of the chemicals called ketones. Acetone on the breath can be smelt – it smells rather like pear drops. Ketones accumulate in the blood when there is too little insulin. High ketone levels can be dangerous and are the cause of ketoacidosis.
Colourless, volatile liquid, ketone, valuable as solvent of organic compounds
A keytone that is used as a strong solvent. It is more dangerous because of its low flash point rather than inhalation, which allow 1,000 ppm3. It mixes with water and most solvents. Available from hardware and paint stores.

Used as an alternative to abrasive blasting for surface preparation. (Also see neutralize.)
Solvent and/or adhesive agent for bonding many plastic materials.
