> Applications
Butanone MEK is used by synthesis, coatings, adhesives, inks, technical cleaning, analytical-development, and R&D teams that need a volatile ketone solvent for process evaluation where local regulations permit. An ACS Reagent Chemicals monograph for 2-Butanone summarizes physical constants, chemical hazards, user safety, and laboratory applications (doi:10.1021/acsreagents.4066). Supply is intended for qualified buyers who will confirm grade, specification, transport classification, and process obligations in their own markets.
Ketone solvent identity
PubChem compound record CID 6569 lists 2-Butanone as C4H8O with molecular weight 72.11 g/mol and InChIKey ZWEHNKRNPOVVGH-UHFFFAOYSA-N, providing identity context for analytical-development programs. Buyers typically align GC assay, water, acidity, color, non-volatile matter, impurity profile, packaging, and transport requirements before order confirmation.
Process development and handling
This material is evaluated as a process solvent, extraction medium, coating component, or analytical-development material. Handling, storage, and transport should be managed according to the MSDS and local rules for flammable liquids.
