Description Methyl isobutyl ketone, MIBK, a medium boiling ketone is a stable water-white
liquid. Like acetone and MEK, it displays strong solvent power for cellulose
esters vinyl polymers and copolymers, and most natural and synthetic resins.
MIBK is a medium evaporating solvent with excellent solvency characteristics
and with a high tolerance for hydrocarbon diluents.
