Question

Why propanone is used as nail polish remover

Acetone is a primary ingredient in many nail polish removers. It breaks down nail polish, making it easy to remove with a cotton swab or cloth. It is widely used because it can easily mix with water and evaporates quickly in the air. Acetone is widely used in the textile industry for degreasing wool and degumming silk.
