Methyl ethyl ketone is an organic compound with chemical formula CH3COCH2CH3 and molecular weight of 72.11. It is colorless and transparent liquid with acetone like odor. Volatile. It can be miscible with ethanol, ether, benzene, chloroform and oil. Soluble in 4 parts of water, but the solubility decreases when the temperature increases, and can form an azeotropic mixture with water. Low toxicity, LD50 (rat, oral) 3300mg / kg. Flammable, vapor can form explosive mixture with air. High concentration steam is anesthetic.

Application:
1. MEK is used as solvent for cellulose acetate, acrylic acid resin, alkyd resin, paint, ink, etc., as binder for dyes, dewaxer for lubricating oil, accelerator for vulcanization, etc
2. As a reagent for the determination of cadmium, copper and mercury, a standard substance for chromatographic analysis and a solvent for semiconductor lithography.
3. GB 2760-96 provides for the permitted use of edible spices. Mainly used to prepare cheese, coffee and banana flavor. It can also be used as an extraction solvent.
4. MEK / butanone is mainly used as a solvent, such as oil dewaxing, paint industry and a variety of resin solvents, vegetable oil extraction process and refining process of azeotropic distillation, its advantages are strong solubility, less volatile than acetone, is a medium boiling point ketone solvent. Butanone is also an intermediate for the preparation of medicines, dyes, detergents, fragrants, antioxidants and some catalysts. It is used as a developer after integrated circuit lithography in the electronic industry for the synthesis of anti-peeling agent methylethyl ketoxime, polymerization catalyst methylethyl ketoperoxide and corrosion inhibitor methypentinol, etc.
5. Butanone is the raw material for the preparation of the acaricide, pyrazamine.
6. MEK is an organic synthetic raw materials, can be used as a solvent. As a dewaxing agent for lubricating oil in oil refining industry, it is also used in medicine, paint, dye, detergent, perfume and electronics industries. Solvent for liquid ink. Cosmetics used in the manufacture of nail polish, as a low boiling point solvent, can reduce the viscosity of nail polish, quick drying.
Application :
In the low boiling point organic solvent, methyl ethyl ketone is famous for its outstanding dissolving capacity and dry characteristic. It is mainly used in polyurethane resin, PU leather and imitation leather, bond, coating, lubricating oil dewaxing, printing ink, magnetic recording material and so on industries, it is also an important fine chemical raw material.
Applications
As a solvent
Methyl ethyl ketone or Butanone is an effective and common solvent and is used in processes involving gums, resins, cellulose acetate and nitrocellulose coatings and in vinyl films. For this reason it finds use in the manufacture of plastics, textiles, in the production of paraffin wax, and in household products such as lacquer, varnishes, paint remover, a denaturing agent for denatured alcohol, glues, and as a cleaning agent. It has similar solvent properties to acetone but boils at a higher temperature and has a significantly slower evaporation rate. Unlike acetone, it forms an azeotrope with water, making it useful for azeotropic distillation of moisture in certain applications. Butanone is also used in dry erase markers as the solvent of the erasable dye.
