Acetone is readily soluble in water, ethanol, ether, etc., and is itself an important solvent for use in paints and varnishes but has also other major uses such as:

Methylmethacrylate (MMA) for subsequent polymerization to polymethylemethacrylate (PMMA)
Bisphenol A for polycarbonate and epoxy resins
Isophorone for coatings
In combination with cellulose based products for filtration
Methylisobutylketone (MIBK) for solvents
