Methyl ethyl ketone

Methyl ethyl ketone (CAS 78-93-3 ), commonly known as MEK, is a fast-evaporating industrial solvent used across coatings, adhesives, and manufacturing processes. It dissolves a broad range of resins, waxes, and polymers. This chemical is a preferred carrier solvent where clean evaporation and strong solvency are both required. In coatings and adhesives, MEK is used to dissolve nitrocellulose, vinyl, and acrylic resins. It delivers smooth application and rapid dry times in industrial finishes and contact adhesives. Printing and packaging operations rely on it as a solvent in gravure and flexographic inks for high-speed press performance. Electronics manufacturers use MEK for precision cleaning and degreasing of circuit boards and metal components. In these applications, residue-free evaporation is critical for maintaining the integrity of sensitive parts. In plastics processing, it functions as a solvent cement for bonding PVC and ABS substrates. It also serves as a carrier in polymer coatings applied to textiles and leather for durable industrial finishes. Methyl ethyl ketone is supplied as a clear liquid in drums, IBCs, and bulk tanker quantities. Technical grade is the standard commercial specification, with purity levels typically at 99% or higher. Food-contact and flavor applications reference FEMA 2170 designation for compliant sourcing. Our material meets rigorous industrial requirements for consistency and performance across all major manufacturing sectors. Contact us for supply of Methyl ethyl ketone Request Quote
