Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) Plants for Sale

Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) is mainly used as a low-boiling solvent for nitrocellulose, acrylic and vinyl surface coatings. Over half of global demand for MEK comes from the paints and coatings industry. Other uses include rubber-based industrial cements, low-temperature bonding agents and as an azeotropic separation solvent for printing inks. MEK is a solvent also needed for the polymerisation processing of polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR).
