Product Properties:
1.It is miscible with most organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, benzene and animal and vegetable oils. It is an excellent solvent for cellulose nitrate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, polystyrene, epoxy resin, natural and synthetic rubber, DDT, 2,4-D and many organic substances. Can be formulated into a low viscosity solution to prevent gelation.
2.Chemical properties: carbonyl group in the molecule and the neighbouring hydrogen atoms are rich in chemical reactivity, chemical properties similar to butanone. For example, when oxidised by strong oxidising agents such as chromic acid, it generates acetic acid, isobutyric acid, isovaleric acid, carbon dioxide and water. Catalytic hydrogenation gives 4-methyl-2-pentanol. An addition product is produced with sodium bisulfite. Condensation with other carbonyl compounds in the presence of a basic catalyst. Condensation with hydrazine to form hydrazone and Claisen condensation reaction with ethyl acetate.
3.Stability: Stable
4.Prohibited substances: Strong oxidants, strong reducing agents, strong bases
5.Polymerisation hazard: Non-polymerisation
Product Application:
1.This product can be used as a solvent for all kinds of industrial coatings, as well as a solvent for the production of high-grade paints for automobiles, inks, cassette tapes, video tapes and so on. It is also used as ore dressing agent, oil dewaxing agent and colouring agent for colour film.
2.It also has excellent solubility for organometallic compounds. The peroxide of this product is an important initiator in the polymerisation reaction of polyester resins. It is also used as solvent for organic synthesis and atomic absorption spectrophotometric analysis.
3.It is mainly used as solvent. In addition to a large number of paints, paint strippers, a variety of synthetic resins as a solvent, but also used as adhesives, DDT, 2,4-D, pyrethroids, penicillin, tetracycline, rubber glue, atomic absorption spectrophotometric analysis of the solvent.
4.It also has excellent solubility for organometallic compounds. It is also used as ore dressing agent, oil dewaxing agent and colouring agent for colour film. There are also some inorganic salts effective separator, can be separated from uranium plutonium, niobium from tantalum, zirconium from hafnium, etc. MIBK peroxide is an important initiator in the polyester resin polymerisation reaction.
5.Used as an analytical reagent, such as chromatographic analysis standards. Also used as solvents, extraction agents.
6.Used in the manufacture of nail polish in cosmetics. In nail polish as a medium-boiling point solvent (100~140°C), giving nail polish to spread, inhibit the fuzzy feeling.
7.Used as a solvent for spray paint, nitrocellulose, some fibre ethers, camphor, grease, natural and synthetic rubber.
Product Storage Notes:
1.Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse.
2.Keep away from fire and heat source.
3.The storage temperature should not exceed 37°C.
4.Keep the container sealed.
5.It should be stored separately from oxidising agents, reducing agents and alkalis, and should never be mixed.
6.Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities.
7.Prohibit the use of mechanical equipment and tools that are easy to generate sparks.
8.The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and suitable shelter materials.
