Detailed explanation-1: -Acetone ( C 3 H 6 O ), also called propanone, is a ketone and it is the main constituent of nail polish remover. Acetone is used as a constituent liquid in medicine and cosmetics companies and is also used for the manufacturing of plastics and fibers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Traditional nail polish removers are made up of an acetone solvent and a fatty material like lanolin or caster oil. Acetone removes polish by quickly breaking apart the nail varnish and stripping the polish from the nail plate surface.
Detailed explanation-3: -Basically, there are two different kinds of nail polish removers: acetone and non-acetone. Most brands carry both types–it’s usually stated right on the front label. Both types contain a solvent (like acetone) that works by dissolving the hard film that’s left on your nails by the ingredients in the polish.
Detailed explanation-4: -Nailpolish removers in general are based on acetone. The simplest and least expensive composition contains about 90% acetone and 10% water.
