acetone
Nail salon chemical
Acetone is a colorless, volatile liquid with a sharp, sweet odor—the distinctive smell of nail polish remover, its most familiar household use.
It dissolves many plastics, oils, and resins, making it valuable as an industrial solvent and cleaning agent.
Acetone evaporates quickly and is highly flammable.
The human body produces small amounts during fat metabolism.
