MIBK
GENERAL
MIBK(Methyl Isobutyl Ketone), also referred to as Isopropyl acetone, Hexanone, 4-Methyl-2-pentanone, which is clear, colorless, flammable, volatile liquid, with an odor. MIBK is produced through an catalyzed reaction of acetone with hydrogen. It is an active solvent for synthetic resins including cellulosics, vinyl copolymers, acrylics, alkyds, polyesters, epoxies, coatings and ink. Health and safety information is available through the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS).
