Bulk Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) - 55 Gallon Drum
Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) is a clear liquid solvent known for strong dissolving power, low viscosity, and slow evaporation rate. It’s widely used in coatings, adhesives, and resin applications requiring controlled drying. MEK’s high purity and consistent performance make it a preferred industrial cleaning solvent.
Benefits:
- Excellent solvent power
- Low viscosity
- High boiling point
- Slow evaporation rate
Applications:
MEK is widely used in household and industrial applications such as lacquers, varnishes, paint removers, denatured alcohols, and cleaning agents.
It is also used in oil, fat, and resin extraction, and in the manufacture of paraffin wax, plastics, and textiles.
Its most common industrial uses include thinning paints, lacquers, and surface coatings.
Due to its strong solvency, MEK is a more effective cleaning agent than acetone, offering a higher boiling point and slower evaporation rate.
