Acetone is classified as a highly flammable solvent and should be handled under strict workplace controls. Key hazards include:
Highly Flammable – R11
Forms highly flammable vapour-air mixtures and may ignite easily near heat, sparks, flames, or static discharge.Eye Irritation – R36
Causes irritation, redness, and watering of the eyes.Skin Dryness / Cracking – R66
Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking through solvent degreasing effects.Respiratory Exposure – R67
Vapours may cause dizziness, drowsiness, coughing, or respiratory irritation, particularly in poorly ventilated areas.Explosion risk
Vapours may travel considerable distances to ignition sources and flash back.Handling controls
Use explosion-proof equipment, non-sparking tools, appropriate PPE, and strong ventilation systems. Prevent electrostatic build-up during transfer operations.
Store in tightly closed containers away from ignition sources and oxidising agents.
