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.

Frequent Uses

Industrial solvent
Commonly used in the production of plastics, textiles, and paraffin wax.

Denaturant
Sometimes utilised as a denaturing agent for alcohol and glues.

Cleaning
It is a prime component of plumbers' 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 butanone 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.
