CAS: 107-87-9
Methyl propyl ketone is currently also known as 2-pentanone. This solvent has become a major industrial solvent. It possesses a fairly good evaporation speed, a remarkably high solvent power, and moderate boiling point, hence, becoming an indispensable ingredient in formulations that require fast drying and good solubility. Its applications include coatings(adhesives, and chemical intermediates), hence making Methyl propyl ketone a general-purpose chemical beyond HI&I.
