Acetone
The fastest-evaporating industrial ketone; a standard cleaner with high solvency.
CAS No 67-64-1Ketones
Diisobutyl Ketone (DIBK)
Slow-evaporating tail solvent that delivers surface smoothness in thick films.
Product description
DIBK is among the slowest-evaporating members of the ketone family and therefore acts as the tail solvent that lets the film flow out at the end of drying. In high-temperature stoving systems it reduces pinholing and orange-peel. Its very low water solubility prevents blushing in humid conditions.
Application areas
- Stoving paints and powder-coating auxiliaries
- High-solids industrial coatings
- Flow control in nitrocellulose systems
- Slow solvent in printing inks
- Adhesive formulations
