Methyl Isopropyl Ketone or 3-Methyl-2-butanone is a colorless liquid with a sweet acetone like smell. It is highly flammable. Methyl Isopropyl Ketone is stable, does not polymerize and is highly compatible with a variety of organic reagents. It shows low solubility in water in comparison to other ketones and is used primarily in industrial applications as a chemical intermediate as a process solvent.
Generally, ketones are exhaustively used as a liquid solvent during the production of adhesives, printing inks, surface coatings, chemical intermediates and magnetic tapes and lube oil de waxing agents. Industrial processes are one of the leading consumers of Methyl Isopropyl Ketone as it is used as a solvent in various processes.
Methyl Isopropyl Ketone caters to the chemical needs of a variety of industries ranging from chemicals and paints to textile, food, chemical and leather. Increasing use of bio-based and green solvents is the new rising trend in the industrial solvents market and this may impact market growth in the coming years.
Adding to this, most of the industries are heavily regulated across the globe, so producers might be forced to adopt low-solvent technologies and this may negatively impact the overall market growth in near future.
