Diacetone alcohol is a colourless liquid organic compound with a slight odour, soluble in water, oil and in common organic solvents. Diacetone alcohol is a well-known synthetic intermediate and it occurs as a component in a large number of products for industrial, professional and consumer uses such as coatings, paints, cleaning products or agrochemicals.

Uses and applications

Diacetone alcohol is a low evaporating solvent with high water solubility. It is widely used in industrial and professional applications in coatings, cleaning, oil and gas field drilling, lubricants, metal working fluids, polymer processing and water treatment. It is also used as chemical intermediate in organic synthesis. Diacetone alcohol is also used as solvent in consumer products such as adhesives, inks, paints, thinners, paint removers, household cleaners and agrochemicals.

Physical/Chemical Properties

Depending on its purity, the flash point of diacetone alcohol varies from 42 to 63°C. Accordingly, the substance may or may not be classified as "flammable" according to EU regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (upper cut-off value of 60°C for classification of liquid substances as "flammable" under this regulation).
