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.
