Methyl Iso Butyl Ketone

MIBK is one of the most often used aliphatic ketones, used in paints, protective coatings, and as an intermediary in the manufacturing of different polymers and resins. MIK is a solvent used in vinyl, epoxy, acrylic, natural resins, nitrocellulose, paints, varnishes, lacquers, protective coatings, rare metal extraction, and dyes. It is also employed as a rubbing alcohol denaturant, a synthetic flavouring adjuvant, and a fruit flavouring agent.

MIBK preserves and intensifies tastes and smells. Aerosol paints, building coatings, and vehicle and equipment paints and primers are among the consumer items that include MIBK. MIBK is found in household items such as hard surface cleaners, dyes and tints, laundry starches, paints and varnishes. MIBK is also used in garden pesticides, lubricants, automotive chemicals, pet flea and tick treatments, shoe polish, wood office furniture, and clear finishes, undercoats, and primers.
