Ketones, such as Acetone, are volatile organic compounds. While not explosives themselves, some are highly flammable and can be used as solvents or precursors in the production of various dangerous substances or even improvised explosives. Therefore, in a security context like aviation, they fall under the category of dangerous substances.

Ketones are classified as dangerous substances due to their flammability and potential use in synthesizing other hazardous materials.

Airport security regulations, such as those enforced by BCAS in India, list various categories of prohibited items, including explosives, dangerous articles, and dangerous substances (which include flammable liquids, corrosive materials, toxic substances, etc.). Ketones like acetone fit within the dangerous substance category.
