        If you put acetone on the plastic, it may corrode the plastic material. It depends on the type of plastic you use, because some plastics are stronger than others. It is best not to put acetone in plastic containers because of the risk of damage and leakage.

Acetone is a natural organic compound produced in the process of human metabolism, and fat is decomposed into energy. It is also manufactured and used as a solvent, commonly used in pain diluents, epoxy removers and nail polish removers. Because of its corrosive nature, you should not put acetone on plastics or other substances that may be sensitive to its effects.

Careful use of acetone is important because it is highly flammable and its vapor is heavy and can easily move from room to room. If the steam comes into contact with any open flame or spark, it may cause explosion or fire. Therefore, acetone should not be used in fireplaces and other hazardous areas. It is best not to use acetone on the surface of the plastic as it may cause leakage and potential hazards if it diffuses into the open fire area.

In addition to its flammability, acetone has a strong odor, which may lead to smoke accumulation when used in enclosed areas. When possible, only use in well ventilated rooms or outdoors. Keeping the fan in use may also be beneficial, but only when using a brushless fan, because other varieties may produce small sparks that may cause fire or explosion when running too close to acetone.

In some cases, it is harmless to put acetone on plastic or in plastic containers. Some grades of plastics, such as polypropylene, are designed to resist corrosive substances, so the use of acetone with these substances will not cause any reaction. You can determine which plastic is safe by checking the bottom of any plastic object or container for the symbol and number 5. This symbol is usually a circular arrow for recycling containers and recyclable products.
