Yes. Acetone is a degreaser
Yes, acetone can be used for cleaning aluminum surfaces as it helps to dissolve grease, oil, and grime effectively. However, it is important to use acetone in a well-ventilated area and to wear gloves to protect your skin from irritation. Additionally, remember to rinse the aluminum surface thoroughly after cleaning with acetone.
the chemicals used to make the degreaser and how to make it
Acetone is great for thinning fiberglass resin, cleaning fiberglass tools and dissolving superglue before hardening. A heavy-duty degreaser, it is useful in the preparation of metal prior to painting; it also thins polyester resins, vinyl and adhesives. It easily removes residues from glass and porcelain. Acetone is also used in biological research contexts and in industry being a very important solvent and a reagent in organic synthesis. Acetne is also an intermediate in the production of bisphenol A and metaacrylate. It is most commonly used as nail polish remover. A word of warning: Acetone is flammable, so please be careful.
No, because when you add acetone to acetone, all you are doing is adding more of the volume of acetone to acetone. You are just changing the amount of acetone, not anything chemically happening.
Yes, mainly there are 3 types of acetone: regular acetone, acetone with enriched formula, maximum strength acetone.
Best degreaser I've used for car type applications is Spartan SD-20.
Its a polyatomic ion called Acetate
Acetone exists as a liquid at room temperature but can evaporate to form acetone vapor, which is a gas made up of acetone molecules.
Acetone will not make Styrofoam hard. Putting Styrofoam in acetone will dissolve how to do it is easy. Place a bit of acetone into a bowl then put in the Styrofoam in the bowl and it will dissolve away.
Its ethanol.. NOT acetone!!
Yes, ammonia is an effective degreaser due to its ability to break down and dissolve grease and oil.
Acetone in the gaseous form (when liquid acetone evaporates).
