acetone


Our third commercial product (as a co-product to biobutanol) will be acetone, a $5 billion global chemical used to produce methyl methacrylate (MMA) and Bisphenol-A for high value polymer applications, and used widely as a solvent in coatings applications, and as a cleaning agent and intermediate in pharmaceutical and medical applications. Acetone is also used to produce high value aldol chemicals such as MIBK, MIBC and Isophorone.
