Methyl Isobutyl Ketone Description
Name: Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (MIBK)
Synonyms: 4-Methylpentan-2-one / Isopropylacetone / Hexone / Isohexanone /
Molecular Formula: C6H12O
Molecular Weight: 100.16
CAS NO.: 108-10-1
Density: 0.8±0.1 g/cm3
Boiling point: 116.5±8.0 °C at 760 mmHg
Melting point: -84 °C
Flashing point: 13.3±0.0 °C
Appearance: Colorless transparent liquid
Water Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, easily soluble in most organic solvents.
Properties: Colorless transparent liquid with aromatic ketone odor, miscible with ethanol, ether, acetone, benzene, etc., and soluble in water (1-91%). Its vapor forms an explosive mixture with air, which can cause combustion and explosion if exposed to open flames or high heat. If it encounters an oxidant, it will react violently. At high temperatures, the internal pressure of the container increases, and there is a risk of cracking and explosion. This liquid can also dissolve certain plastics, resins and rubbers.
Storage: Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 30℃. Keep the container sealed. It should be stored separately from oxidants, reducing agents, and alkalis, and never mixed. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and appropriate containment materials.
Safety Protection: Inhalation may cause central nervous system depression and anesthesia, and may irritate the respiratory tract, causing nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, etc.
