PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Product Description

MEK 99.7% Methyl Ethyl Ketone is a high-purity organic ketone supplied as a clear and colorless liquid. It is chemically identified as Methyl Ethyl Ketone, also known as 2-Butanone, with the molecular formula C4H8O. The referenced commercial grade provides a minimum MEK content of 99.7% together with controlled moisture, acidity, alcohol content, color, distillation range, density, and nonvolatile matter. Methyl Ethyl Ketone is widely associated with industrial solvent applications, particularly in coatings, resins, inks, adhesives, extraction processes, and other specialty chemical systems where a volatile ketone solvent is technically appropriate. MEK is a highly flammable liquid and presents recognized workplace health hazards. Final commercial use, storage, transportation, and handling requirements should therefore follow the actual supplier Safety Data Sheet and applicable regulatory requirements.

STORAGE & HANDLING

Handling Guidance

Store and handle the material only in accordance with the actual supplier Safety Data Sheet and applicable workplace chemical-safety, fire-safety, and transportation requirements. MEK is a highly flammable liquid and vapor and may cause eye irritation and temporary nervous-system effects such as drowsiness or dizziness. Appropriate professional controls should therefore be established according to the supplied grade and local regulations. Keep the material properly identified and rely on the supplier SDS and COA for storage compatibility, transportation, spill response, and disposal requirements. Generic website information should not replace supplier-specific safety documentation.
