The personal protective equipment that should be used when handling acetone varies depending on how much is being handled, in what way, and what kinds of ventilation and other engineering controls are in place and operating properly. You would not need the same precautions in dealing with a bottle of nail polish remover (acetone) that you would if you were stirring an open vessel containing hundreds of gallons of the stuff.
A range of PPE selected for handling Acetone includes
- Respirator
- Skin protection - Nitrile or super nitrile gloves.
- Skin Protection - Long-sleeved 100% cotton shirt and full-length 100% cotton trousers / or a knee-length 100% cotton laboratory coat (with long sleeves which clip at the wrist) can also be worn.
- Eye / Face Protection: either safety glasses, spectacles, goggles or a full face shield (complying with AS 1337).
- Enclosed safety shoes (complying with AS 2210).

Does non acetone polish remover work just as good?
This is a loaded question. While non-acetone nail polish remover will take off varnish just fine, it will generally take longer-meaning it will still dry nails out. My personal opinion is: use polish remover with acetone. It will dry out your nails the same amount as non-acetone remover but with faster results.
