Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (MIBK) Technical Grade
Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (MIBK) Technical Grade is a colorless, flammable ketone (CAS 108-10-1) widely utilized as a solvent in industrial paints, coatings, and chemical manufacturing. With the formula C₆H₁₂O and a boiling range of 116–118°C, MIBK offers excellent solvency for resins, varnishes, and other organic materials. Its specific gravity of approximately 0.805 g/mL and low water content make it ideal for applications requiring consistent evaporation rates and high purity.
This Technical Grade solvent is engineered for industrial processes, including surface coating formulations and chemical extraction workflows. It serves as a reliable intermediate in chemical synthesis and is compatible with standard HDPE and glass storage equipment. MIBK is characterized by its distinct ketone odor and ability to prevent blushing in coating applications due to its medium evaporation rate.
Methyl Isobutyl Ketone is highly flammable and must be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. Store in tightly closed containers made of compatible materials such as HDPE or glass to prevent evaporation and contamination. Operators should wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including solvent-resistant gloves and chemical splash goggles. Ensure adequate ventilation or use fume hoods during handling to manage vapor exposure. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and emergency response protocols.
