Handling and Storage

Acetone is a highly flammable solvent. Proper handling in cosmetics production environments requires strict adherence to safety protocols:

  • Review the SDS before first use and ensure all personnel have access to current safety documentation
  • Personal protective equipment: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, splash-proof safety goggles, and use in well-ventilated areas or with local exhaust ventilation
  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, open flames, and oxidizing materials. Store in approved flammable liquid storage cabinets or rooms
  • Container management: Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and vapor accumulation
  • Regulatory compliance: Follow OSHA workplace exposure limits, local fire codes, and all applicable federal, state, and local regulations for flammable solvent handling in cosmetics manufacturing facilities
  • Spill response: Maintain spill containment materials rated for flammable solvents in all storage and use areas
