Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) is a clear, fast-evaporating solvent. It is widely used across industrial and commercial applications due to its strong solvency, high evaporation rate, and compatibility with a broad range of resins and polymers. MEK is commonly used in the formulation of coatings, adhesives, inks, and cleaning agents.
In the production of synthetic rubber and paraffin wax dewaxing, MEK plays a critical processing role. Its excellent solvency power makes it particularly valuable in automotive, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing environments where clean, residue-free drying is essential.
