Acetone is a kind of organic solvent, which is widely used in the fields of medicine, fine chemicals, paints, etc. It has a similar structure with benzene, toluene and other aromatic compounds, but its molecular weight is much lower. Therefore, it has a higher volatility and solubility in water. In addition, it also has a characteristic of high flammability and easy to cause fire accidents.

The similar substances of acetone are also easy to cause fire accidents. In addition, the similarity of these substances is also high in solubility, such as ethylene glycol ethyl ether and toluene diisocyanate, etc. These substances are also widely used in the fields of medicine, fine chemicals, paints, etc., but they are more dangerous than acetone in terms of flammability and toxicity.

 

In addition, these substances are also easy to cause fire accidents in production and use due to their high flammability. Therefore, in the process of using these substances, we should pay attention to the safety of use, strictly control the temperature and concentration of these substances, and take corresponding measures to prevent fire and explosion accidents.

 

In addition, because these substances have a high solubility in water, they are easy to cause corrosion and damage to the equipment and pipelines. Therefore, in the process of using these substances, we should also pay attention to the selection of equipment materials and pipeline materials, and take corresponding measures to prevent corrosion and damage.

 

In general, acetone is a widely used organic solvent with high volatility, solubility and flammability. The similarity of acetone is mainly shown in the high solubility, high flammability and high toxicity. In the process of use, we should pay attention to the safety of use, strictly control the temperature and concentration of these substances, and take corresponding measures to prevent fire and explosion accidents. In addition, we should also pay attention to the selection of equipment materials and pipeline materials to prevent corrosion and damage.
