99.9% Lab Grade - C₄H₈O

Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), also known as butanone is an organic compound.  Its a colorless liquid and has a sweet order similar to acetone.  MEK is a widely used in commercial applications and as a solvent, and it dissolves many substances.  Our MEK is a very high purity percentage which make it appropriate for use in laboratory and analytical applications. MEK has a flash point 20 °F. Vapors heavier than air. Does not react with water.  It is partially soluble in water, and soluble in most other organic solvents. It will float on water while it rapidly dissolves in it

MEK goes by a couple of names: 2-Butanone, Butan-2-one, Butanone, Ethyl methyl ketone, Methylethyl ketone
