Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK)

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

DESCRIPTION

Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) is a clear, colorless liquid with a sweet, pungent odor. It is a type of ketone, which is a class of organic compounds that contain a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two other carbon atoms. MEK is a highly versatile solvent that is widely used in various industrial applications, such as in the production of plastics, textiles, and printing inks. MEK has excellent solvency power, which makes it an effective solvent for dissolving a wide range of substances, including resins, waxes, and oils. It also has a low boiling point and evaporates quickly, which makes it useful in applications where a fast-drying solvent is required. MEK is commonly used in the paint and coating industry as a solvent for nitrocellulose, acrylic, and vinyl resins.
