Products in Solvents: Resins

Wacker Chemie Isopropenyl acetate (IPA) is a clear, colorless to yellowish, mobile liquid with a pleasant, ester-like odor. It serves as a mild acetylating agent for pharmaceutical ingredients (steroids) and fragrance and flavor chemicals. IPA is also used in the synthesis of enol acetates and as a comonomer for the production of synthetic resins.

Altivia Diisobutyl Ketone (DIBK) is a colorless, stable liquid with a mild sweet odor. DIBK is a high-boiling, slow evaporating solvent that has limited water solubility, but is miscible with alcohols and ketones. DIBK has excellent viscosity reduction for and reduces surface tension in high solid’s coatings. DIBK has good volume-to-weight advantage over other classes of solvents used in coatings. DIBK is a non-HAP (Hazardous Air Pollutant) solvent. Diisobutyl Ketone is also referred to as DIBK; isobutyl ketone; 2,6 dimethyl-4-heptanone; s-diisopropylacetone; isovalerone; valerone.

Altivia Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (MIBK) is a stable, colorless liquid with a pleasant odor. It is both a medium boiling and medium evaporating solvent commonly used by the industrial paints and coatings industry in the production of traffic paints and automotive coatings, nitrocellulose lacquers, and vinyl-acrylic resins for adhesives. MIBK is also used as an extraction solvent for tall oil soap purification. Methyl Isobutyl Ketone is also referred to as 4-methylpentan-2-one.

Altivia Diisobutyl Ketone, High Purity (DIBK-HP) is a colorless, stable liquid with a mild sweet odor. DIBK is a high-boiling, slowevaporating solvent that has limited water solubility, but is miscible with alcohols and ketones. DIBK has excellent viscosity reduction for and reduces surface tension in high solid’s coatings. DIBK has good volume-to-weight advantage over other classes of solvents used in coatings. DIBK is a non-HAP (Hazardous Air Pollutant) solvent. Diisobutyl Ketone is also referred to as DIBK; isobutyl ketone; 2,6 dimethyl-4-heptanone; s-diisopropylacetone; isovalerone; valerone.

Altivia Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol (MIBC) is a stable, colorless liquid with a mild alcoholic odor. It is slightly soluble in water and miscible with most organic solvents. MIBC is commonly used by the coatings industry as a latent solvent to adjust cure rates and to reduce viscosity. It is also used as a solvent for dyes and stains, nitrocellulose and ethylcellulose lacquers, ester gums, natural resins, phenolics, and waxes. Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol is also referred to as 4-methyl-2-Pentanol or Isobutyl Methyl Carbinol.

Maruzen Petrochemical HDCP is produced by dimerizing and refining cyclopentadiene in Fraction C5 through our unique process. With impurities minimized as far as practicable, it is especially applicable as raw material for special resins and synthetic chemicals.

Megawide Petrochemicals Mesitylene is a colorless liquid, insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether and benzene.
