Main use of Acetone is the production of Acetone Cyanohydrin in Methyl Methacrylate route. Second-largest end-use is production of Bisphenol A, intermediate in the manufacture of Polycarbonate and Epoxy Resins. Other applications include pharmaceutical industry and solvent. Acetone is produced along with phenol through the cleavage of cumene hydroperoxide.
