Product Overview

Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (MIBK) ACS Grade is a high-purity, colorless, flammable liquid solvent. Chemically known as 4-Methyl-2-pentanone, this ketone offers high solvency for resins, gums, and nitrocellulose, combined with moderate volatility. This product is manufactured to meet or exceed American Chemical Society (ACS) Reagent specifications, ensuring strict control over assay, water content, and residue levels.

The ACS Grade designation makes this MIBK suitable for sensitive analytical and industrial applications, including use as a mobile phase in HPLC, extraction in pharmaceutical manufacturing, and solvent applications in high-performance coatings. Its low acidity (≤0.0005 meq/g) and controlled water content support consistent reaction rates and prevent baseline drift in chromatographic analysis. MIBK is slightly soluble in water but miscible with most organic solvents.

Key Properties

  • CAS Number: 108-10-1
  • Grade: ACS Reagent Grade
  • Appearance: Colorless liquid
  • Odor: Characteristic, sweet ketone odor
  • Assay: ≥98.5% (Typical 99.7%)
  • Boiling Point: 116-118°C
  • Flash Point: 14°C (Closed Cup)
  • Density (25°C): 0.805 g/mL
  • Refractive Index (20°C): 1.426
  • Vapor Pressure (20°C): 15 mmHg
  • Solubility: Soluble in organic solvents; limited solubility in water
  • Molecular Weight: 100.16 g/mol

Common Applications

  • HPLC & Analytics: Used as a mobile phase component or extraction solvent in chromatography due to UV transparency and low residue.
  • Coatings & Paints: High-solvency carrier for nitrocellulose, acrylics, and alkyd resins in industrial coating formulations.
  • Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a reaction intermediate and extraction agent in pharmaceutical and chemical processing.
  • Extraction Solvent: Utilized for dewaxing oils and separating organic compounds in manufacturing workflows.
  • Surface Preparation: Effective for cleaning and degreasing substrates requiring a residue-free finish.

Safety & Handling

Methyl Isobutyl Ketone is a flammable liquid and vapor (Class 3). Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizers. Keep containers bonded and grounded during transfer to prevent static discharge. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including solvent-resistant gloves and safety goggles, is required during handling. Ensure adequate ventilation to maintain vapor levels below exposure limits.
