MEK’s Relation To Acetone MEK, also known as Butanone and Methyl Ethyl Ketone is a solvent that is related to acetone, because acetone is simply liquid ketone. Since MEK and Acetone share the ketone trait, many assume that they can be used as interchangeable solvents. Acetone and MEK have very similar traits and can be […]
Preptone: A Less Toxic Alternative To MEK Methyl Ethyl Ketone is a solvent that is used on both an industrial and household level. MEK is a solvent that is often avoided due to high toxicity and various health hazards, however MEK is actively sought out often due to its high evaporation rate, high boiling rate, […]
