Acetone is an organic liquid that is colorless and flammable with a very high evaporation rate of 1440 and a flashpoint of -4 °F, thus making it very volatile. Static discharge can ignite it even though they may be far away due to the vapor trail and volatility. It has a sweet slight aromatic odor almost like a liquor. Acetone is miscible in water. Acetone is completely VOC exempt all over the US and is commonly used in California.
