Default Is acetone more greasy now?
In article ,
writes
I use a fair bit of acetone. I have always accepted that it leaves a
bit of an oily residue. Recently I have been finding a *lot* of oily
residue. Is it just a rogue bottle or has anyone else noticed this? If
so is the likely cause cutting costs during production?

I have a bottle of 'nail varnish remover' -mainly acetone but it
contains a small amount of lanolin which makes it useless for degreasing
etc.
Similar problem with 'rubbing alcohol' (called 'surgical spirit' over
here) -this has a small amount of castor oil in it.
