Cepsa Chemicals Acetone is a co-product of phenol production via the cumene route. Cumene is obtained through the solid-bed alkylation of benzene with propylene. Acetone is known for its strong solvent properties and high evaporation rate, making it useful in dissolving natural and synthetic oils, resins, gums, waxes, and more. It is commonly employed in the extraction and purification of organic compounds, as well as in various applications such as paints, adhesives, and inks.
