What is Methyl Ethyl Ketone? It is an organic compound with the chemical formula C4H8O. This colourless liquid ketone has a sharp, sweet odour reminiscent of butterscotch and acetone. It is produced industrially on a large scale, but occurs in nature only in trace amounts. It is partially soluble in water, and is commonly used as an industrial solvent. Also known as Butanone, it is an isomer of another solvent, tetrahydrofuran. 

Consistent Quality: We provide only high-quality Methyl Ethyl Ketone 99.7%, meeting the standards of ACS, ensuring reliable and consistent performance for all applications.

Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and bottled using non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers, ensuring reliable quality for our customers.

Safe Break Glass Winchester Bottle: Our Glass Winchester bottles can store chemicals that may be sensitive to light due to filtering potentially harmful UV rays. The Safe Break bottles offer an additional layer of protection; if breakage occurs, the PE coating keeps all liquid and glass splinters contained.

It is a prime component of priming fluid used to clean PVC materials. It has similar solvent properties to acetone but boils at a higher temperature and has a significantly slower evaporation rate.

Household products
Found in common household products such as varnishes, lacquers, and paint removers.

Hobbyists
As Methyl Ethyl Ketone dissolves polystyrene and many other plastics, it is sold as "model cement" for use in connecting parts of scale model kits. Though often considered an adhesive, it is functioning as a welding agent in this context.
