Acetone was the first product of Commercial Solvents Corporation. In fact, it was the urgent need for Acetone to make explosives that brought C.S.C. into being. Since World War I the industrial uses of Acetone have multiplied. Today there are two important derivatives of C.S.C. Acetone which have also found numerous industrial uses —Diacetone and 2-Methyl-2,4-pentanediol, commonly known as "2-2-4."

C.S.C. Acetone is a product of exceptional purity. It is used in making a wide variety of products. . .such as pharmaceuticals and drugs, acetylene solutions for shipment in cylinders; and as a solvent in special coatings and in the manufacture of synthetic fibers. C.S.C. Acetone has become essential to industry because of its unusually strong solvent power, very high purity, unvarying uniformity and availability, at a reasonable price.

Diacetone presents a versatile combination of useful properties. Its excellent solvent power for a great variety of substances and its complete m i s c i b i l i t y with water and most common organic liquids make this slower-evaporating solvent particularly useful t o industry. C.S.C. supplies Diacetone in both technical and acetone-free grades.

2 - 2 - 4 is a water-white, highboiling liquid having the useful property of miscibility with an unusually large number of liquidsof basically different chemical nature. This extensive miscibility, combined with its stability, makes it an exceptionally valuable solvent and blending agent. 2 - 2 - 4 is being used as a highboiling solvent, penetrant and lubricant, mild humectant, and coupling agent in a wide variety of applications.
