SOLVENT
IMMEDIATELY REPLACES ACETONE
 |
 |
Acetone is extremely flammable. With a flash point of -18°C, it is a particularly dangerous solvent to use. In addition, fumes form explosive mixtures in the air.
With a vapor pressure of 27.4 kPa, acetone is very volatile, comparable to ether, and its application requires repeating several times to obtain good cleaning. If its price seems economical, the quantities that need to be used are significant, not to mention the unavoidable losses through evaporation.
The higher the vapour pressure of a solvent, the more exposed operators are to the vapours of that solvent.
Acetone is not without risk in terms of health:
- Irritation of the skin and mucous membranes,
- Serious Cat.2 eye damage,
- Central nervous system depression in cases of high exposure,
- Headache, dizziness, intoxication, comas, in certain convulsive cases,
- Nausea, vomiting, hematemesis, metabolic acidosis,
- Cat.3 narcotic effects,
- Specific toxicity for certain target organs,
- Obligatory exposure value 500 ppm Art. 4412-149 of the Labour Code.
As a reminder, any storage, implementation or use of an extremely flammable liquid must be declared to the insurance companies.
All regulations applicable to the use of acetone are listed on www.substitutionacetone.com.

It is forbidden to market acetone in many countries. Acetone is used for the purification of cocaine. Catalyzed with hydrochloric acid, it is easy to make TATP, a powerful explosive used in terrorist acts.
NEUTRALENE RG 30 has solubility parameters identical to those of acetone, so it can replace this hazardous solvent in all its uses.
Cleaning and removal of glues, varnishes, adhesives, contact adhesives, paints, coatings, resins, vegetable resins, sap, waxes, vegetable waxes, dyes, greases, oils, rubbers, chewing gum.
NEUTRALENE RG 30 immediately dissolves:
- Polyester resins
- Epoxy resins
- Gelcoat, including hybrids
- Composites, all organic matrices
NEUTRALENE RG 30 is also an excellent substitute for aromaticblends (Toluene-Xylene) / ketones (MIBK - MEK) used in the clean-up of solvent based paints without the chemical hazards.
