Would acetone hurt concrete or aggregate?
Question:
Answers:
No, acetone evaporates very quickly.
It's nail polish remover.
No.
Both first two answers are correct. I'll add a thought. Acetone, over long term exposure causes organ damage is highly flammable, and is not a cleaning agent in the strict sense, if that's your intent. Certainly it's used to dissolve nail polish etc., but if your considering it for cleaning concrete and aggragate you'd be more successful with muriatic acid.
Acetone is extremely dangerous and is capable of iginting in the presence of a static discharge or if the (colorless/invisible) fumes find a light switch or a pilot light even at cool outdoor temperatures. You won't see the fumes but they're there and a fire could spread in less than the blink of an eye. Also toxic, particularly for women of child bearing age. Avoid using acetone for anything more than very small cleaning jobs.
