How to detect Methyl isobutyl ketone
Formula: C6H12O | CAS: 108-10-1
Synonyms: 4-methylpentan-2-one, isobutyl methyl ketone, 4-methyl 2-pentanone, MIBK, hexone, MIK, isopropylacetone, 4-methylpentan-2-one, , 4-methyl-2-pentanone, 2-methyl-4-pentanone, isohexanone
MIBK is used principally as a solvent for protective coatings, lacquers, and varnishes.In production of antioxidants, as a solvent, surfactant,especially in chemical seperation. in the manufacture of methyl isobutyl carbinol; and as a denaturing agent for ethyl alcohol. It is a synthetic flavouring adjuvant.
