METHYL ISO BUTYL KETONE (MBK)
Details
Methyl isobutyl ketone, MIBK, a medium boiling ketone is a stable water-white liquid. Like acetone and MEK, it displays strong solvent power for cellulose esters vinyl polymers and copolymers, and most natural and synthetic resins. MIBK is a medium evaporating solvent with excellent solvency characteristics and with a high tolerance for hydrocarbon diluents.
MIBK has a low flash point, branched chain oxygenated solvent with a sweet odour. MIBK is a versatile ketone suitable
for acrylic coatings formulations and specialty chemical formulations.
Features
- A flammable solvent soluble in alcohol ond other hydrocorbons.
- Widely available with extensive on-hand information.
Benefits
Salubility - MIBK is soluble in polar and non-polar organic materials and this is an ideal component in coatings thinners and reducer formulations. MIBK will affect a slower evaporation rate for a premium gloss finish.
