Globally, the most important downstream applications of Acetone include direct use as a solvent, the production of Methyl Methacrylate (ACH/MMA) by acetone, Cyanohydrin, and for the production of Bisphenol A. The current global acetone consumption structure is shown in Figure
27% of acetone is used directly as a solvent
24% of acetone produces ACH
23% of acetone produces Bisphenol A
26% of acetone produced Other (preparation of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), methyl isobutyl alcohol, etc.)
In China, the application of acetone in recent years appears to be more extensive and diverse, in addition to directly as a solvent, in ACH/MMA, Bisphenol A, Methyl isobutyl ketone, Isopropyl alcohol The current structure of Acetone consumption in China is shown in Figure
