Uses Manufacture of nylon solvent for cellulose ethers, fats, oils, waxes, resins, bitumens, crude rubber paint and varnish removers extracting essential oils glass substitutes solid fuels fungicides gasoline and coal tar component organic synthesis. 

Table 10.5 gives the uses of acetone. A very important organic chemical that just missed the top 50 list, methyl methacrylate, is made from acetone, methanol, and hydrogen cyanide. Approximately 1.2 billion lb of this compound is manufactured and then polymerized to poly(methyl methacrylate), an important plastic known for its clarity and used as a glass substitute. The synthesis is outlined as follows. 

Another use of acetone in the chemical industry is for bisphenol A ( ). BPA results form the condensation reaction of acetone and phenol in the presence of an appropriate catalyst. BPA is used in polycarbonate plastics, polyurethanes, and epoxy resins. Polycarbonate plastics are tough and durable and are often used as a glass substitute. Eyeglasses, safety glasses, and varieties of bullet-proof glass are made of polycarbonates. Additional...

A poisoned glass substituted for his Typically, she had worked that out faster than I had. Minerva may be even smarter than the Maestro. 

Methyl methacrylate is manufactured and then polymerized to poly(methyl methacrylate), an important plastic known for its clarity and used as a glass substitute. 

Because glass substitutes for NMR tubes and probe inserts are not yet commercially available, detailed studies of compounds with structures have not been extensive. Si NMR does seem to be an excellent tool with which to study silicates and glasses if this interference can be overcome.

The most common use for PMMA is as a glass substitute. PMMA offers many benefits over glass because it is more transparent, less dense, stronger, and shatterproof. In ophthalmology (the branch of medicine that deals with diseases of the eye and their treatment), PMMA is used to make replacement lenses for the eye when the original lens has been removed for... 

Muscovite mica was first used in 1850 by James Dwight Dana and is derived from the term Muscovy glass, by which it was previously known because of its widespread use as a window-glass substitute in the old Russian state of Muscovy.

Amorphous polymer with excellent optical properties, often used as a glass substitute (organic glass). 

PET is the polymer which has had one of the largest demand growth rates in recent years though to a major extent this is probably due to its use as glass substitute in bottle manufacture. PET may be reinforced with around 30% glass fibre and is one of the materials used in flexible printed circuits. In other applications where higher temperatures are likely to be encountered, flame retardant PET may be used. 

Glass substitute. Car lights, motorcycle helmet visors, aircraft windows, intraocular lenses, hard contact lenses, dentures, acrylic paint, furniture, sculpture, Jewelry.
