How to Store Acetone

Acetone, a substance commonly found in nail polish remover, is a solvent used to thin and clean off adhesive substances. Since acetone is highly flammable, toxic and dissolves certain materials, you should take care when choosing a storage vessel and location for the substance.

Instructions

    • 1

      Pour acetone in a labeled glass or low-density plastic container. Acetone may dissolve high-density plastic when stored long-term.

    • 2

      Cap the storage container tightly. Acetone left in an open container will release harmful vapors into the room.

    • 3

      Place acetone in a cool spot away from sinks, heat, sun and open flame.
