Product Introduction
Methyl ethyl ketone, also known as methyl ethyl ketone or butanone. Colorless liquid with a smell similar to acetone; Soluble in water, ethanol, ether, and miscible with oils; Stable nature.
1. MEK is mainly used as a solvent, such as for lubricating oil dewaxing, coating industry, various resin solvents, and azeotropic distillation in the extraction and refining processes of vegetable oils. Its advantages are strong solubility, lower volatility than acetone, and it belongs to the category of medium boiling point ketone solvents;
2. 2-Butanone is used as a detergent, lubricant dewaxing agent, vulcanization accelerator, and reaction intermediate, etc;
3. Methyl ethyl ketone is used as a standard substance and solvent for chromatographic analysis;
4. It is used in the electronics industry, commonly used as a cleaning and degreasing agent;
5. 2-Butanone is also an intermediate used in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, dyes, detergents, fragrances, antioxidants, and certain catalysts. It is used to synthesize anti peeling agent methyl ethyl ketoxime, polymerization catalyst methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, corrosion inhibitor methyl pentanol, etc. It is used as a developer in the electronics industry after integrated circuit lithography;
6. It is an organic synthetic raw material and can be used as a solvent. Used as a dewaxing agent for lubricating oil in the refining industry, as well as in industries such as pharmaceuticals, coatings, dyes, detergents, fragrances, and electronics. Solvent for liquid ink. In cosmetics, it is used in the manufacture of nail polish. As a low boiling solvent, it can reduce the viscosity of nail polish and has fast drying property;
7. In addition to being widely used in refining, coatings, additives, adhesives, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and electronic component cleaning, it is mainly used as a solvent for nitrocellulose, vinyl resins, acrylic resins, and other synthetic resins. Its advantage is strong solubility and lower volatility than acetone. It has also been applied in the extraction and refining of vegetable oils through azeotropic distillation, as well as in the preparation of fragrances, antioxidants, and other related fields.
