Acetone
CAS No 67-64-1The fastest-evaporating industrial ketone; a standard cleaner with high solvency.
Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (MIBK)
Medium-evaporating, low water-solubility high-performance ketone.
Product description
MIBK evaporates more slowly than MEK and has low water solubility; together these traits improve film quality in high-solids systems. It provides strong solvency for nitrocellulose, acrylic and epoxy resins. In hydrometallurgy it also serves as the solvent phase in metal extraction.
Application areas
- High-solids paint and varnish systems
- Nitrocellulose and acrylic lacquers
- Metal extraction processes
- Adhesive and sealant formulations
- Rubber chemicals production
Packaging and delivery
Supplied in drums and 1000 L IBC totes. Pack type and quantity are confirmed at quotation.
