METHYL ISOBUTYL KETONE
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.
