Ethyl Methyl Ketone (MEK) – Butanone Solvent 2.5 LTR

Ethyl Methyl Ketone (MEK) is an organic chemical solvent with the formula C₄H₈O. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic solvent odor and is widely used in industrial and manufacturing environments.

MEK is commonly utilized in paints, coatings, printing inks, adhesives, and certain cleaning formulations. It can help dissolve resins, remove compatible contaminants, and support surface preparation in suitable industrial processes.

Due to its rapid evaporation and solvent strength, MEK is selected for applications where quick drying is desirable. Material compatibility should be checked before use, as it may damage certain plastics, coatings, and other surfaces.

MEK is highly flammable and can cause eye irritation and adverse effects from inhaling concentrated vapors. Use appropriate industrial ventilation, chemical-resistant protective equipment, and suitable storage procedures. Always consult the product's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before handling.
