Handling, Storage, and Safety

Acetone is classified as a Class IB flammable liquid (NFPA). Proper handling in manufacturing settings is essential. Follow these protocols:

  • Review the SDS thoroughly before introducing acetone into any new process or work area
  • Wear appropriate PPE — chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile recommended), splash-proof safety goggles, and adequate respiratory protection in areas without sufficient ventilation
  • Eliminate ignition sources — Acetone vapor is heavier than air and can travel to distant ignition points. Use only non-sparking tools and explosion-proof electrical equipment in handling areas
  • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, open flame, and oxidizing materials. Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use
  • Ground and bond containers during transfer operations to prevent static discharge
  • Follow OSHA, EPA, and all applicable local regulations for flammable solvent storage quantities, ventilation requirements, and waste disposal in manufacturing facilities
