Transcript of METHYL ISOBUTYL KETONE

High boiling point, low cost, no hydrolitic reaction, and good stability during storage, make Methyl Isobutyl Ketone a desirable solvent for cellulose esters and vinyl resins.

MIBK is used extensively in nitrocellulose lacquers for automobile finishes and other lacquer appli­cations including emul­sion and hot spray types.

With vinyl resins, MIBK is used to formulate lac­quer emulsions for paper-coatings, t e x t i l e , and leathers.

MIBK's solvent proper­ties are particularly use­ful in the manufacture of shoe cements . . . as an extractive agent in the manufacture of drugs — penicillin, tannic acid, etc.
