Handling and Storage for Construction Environments

Acetone is a highly flammable solvent. Construction sites often present additional ignition risks from welding, cutting, and electrical work, making proper handling essential.

  • Review the SDS before first use on any job site and keep a copy accessible to all personnel
  • Personal Protective Equipment: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile recommended), splash-proof safety goggles, and use in well-ventilated areas or with appropriate respiratory protection
  • Ventilation: Use outdoors or in open, well-ventilated spaces. In enclosed construction areas, ensure mechanical ventilation meets OSHA exposure limits (TWA 250 ppm)
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, open flames, sparks, and direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use
  • Flammability Precautions: Eliminate all ignition sources in the work area. Do not use near welding operations, open electrical panels, or cutting torches. Keep appropriate fire extinguishing equipment on hand
  • Spill Response: Contain spills immediately with absorbent material. Prevent runoff into drains, waterways, or soil. Dispose of waste in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations
  • Container Handling: Ground and bond containers during transfer operations to prevent static discharge
