appearance Colorless Transparent Liquid Solubility It is soluble in water, ethanol, ether and oil.

Purpose:

It is mainly used as solvent, such as in lube oil dewaxing, coating industry, and azeotropic distillation of extraction and refining processes of various resin solvents and vegetable oils. It has the advantages of strong solubility, lower volatility than acetone, and belongs to medium boiling point ketone solvent. Butanone is also an intermediate for the preparation of medicine, dyes, detergents, spices, antioxidants and some catalysts. It is used to synthesize anti peeling agent methyl ethyl ketone oxime, polymerization catalyst methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, corrosion inhibitor methyl pentynol, etc., and is used as a developer after integrated circuit lithography in the electronic industry.
