Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK)

Introduction:

1. Solvents for cellulose Acetate, acrylic resins, alkyd resins, paints, inks, binders for dyes, dewaxing agents for lubricating oils, vulcanization accelerators, reagents for the determination of cadmium, copper and Mercury, certified reference materials for chromatographic analysis and solvents for semiconductor photolithography 3, GB 2760-96 are permitted to be used as food flavoring. Mainly used in the preparation of cheese, coffee and banana flavor. It can also be used as an extraction solvent. 4. butanone is mainly used as solvents, such as in lubricating oil dewaxing, paint industry and various resin solvents, in the extraction process of vegetable oil and azeotropic distillation in the refining process, medium boiling point ketones. Butan-2-one is also an intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, dyes, detergents, perfumes, antioxidants, and certain catalysts, synthesis of anti-peeling agent Methyl Ethyl Ketone Oxime, polymerization catalyst methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, corrosion inhibitor methyl pentynyl alcohol, etc. . 5. butanone is the raw material for the preparation of Pyridaben. 6. It is an organic synthetic material and can be used as a solvent. In the oil refining industry as a dewaxing agent for lubricants, at the same time used in medicine, paint, dyes, detergents, spices and electronics and other industries. Solvent for liquid ink. Cosmetics used in the manufacture of Nail Polish, as a low boiling point solvent, can reduce the viscosity of Nail Polish, there is fast drying.

Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) is a colorless, organic liquid chemical substance that contains a carbonyl group. It is non-reactive and used to manufacture surface treating solvents.

Methyl ethyl ketone may also be known as ethyl methyl ketone, methyl acetone, or 2-butanone.

Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) is soluble in water and is commonly used as an industrial solvent. It is a strong degreaser and is used to remove resins, adhesives, coatings, and other substances from metallic surfaces. MEK is used industrially when a metallic surface requires surface treatment to prevent corrosion. It is used to remove old coatings that may have become eroded or otherwise unsatisfactory. Once the old coating is completely removed, the surface can then be cleaned and a new coating may be applied. It is also used in professional paint shops to thin acrylics and lacquers.

MEK is highly volatile and evaporates quickly. It is poisonous so extreme care should be taken when handling it.
