Methyl isobutyl ketone

Methyl isobutyl ketone ( CAS 108-10-1 ), commonly known as MIBK, is a mid-boiling ketone solvent used across coatings, adhesives, and extraction processes. Its slow evaporation rate and strong solvency make it a preferred choice. Controlled drying and resin compatibility are critical procurement considerations for this versatile chemical. In industrial coatings and lacquers, MIBK dissolves nitrocellulose, epoxy, and vinyl resins to produce high-gloss finishes. These film-forming finishes exhibit minimal blushing during the application process. Adhesive formulators rely on it as a carrier solvent in contact cements and pressure-sensitive adhesive systems where clean release is required. In plastics processing, it functions as a cross-linking and curing solvent for polymer systems including rubber and synthetic resins. At food-grade and FEMA 2731 -approved purity, it is also used as a flavoring agent. In small quantities, it can impart fruity, sweet notes to food and beverage formulations. MIBK is supplied as a clear liquid in standard drum, IBC, and bulk tanker quantities for various industrial and commercial needs. Technical grade is the most common specification for industrial solvent applications. Food-grade material meeting specific requirements is available for flavor use, ensuring compliance with necessary safety and quality protocols. Purity levels typically range from 99% upward depending on the intended application grade. This high level of purity ensures consistent performance across diverse manufacturing sectors and specialized chemical processes. Contact us for supply of Methyl isobutyl ketone Request Quote
