Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK)
Odor: characteristic
Use: MEK is used for solutions of coating, adhesive and ink resins (polyurethane, polyester, acrylic, cellulose, polychloroprene), and for paint stripper formulations. MEK's fast evaporation properties make it a good solvent. It is a key fluid in formulating polychloroprene adhesives, especially as a replacement for toluene, and is a component of many gravure printing inks.

Notes:
solvent; colorless synthetic resins, smokeless powders; may be irritating to eyes, mucous membranes; may be toxic in high concentrations. Isol. from hop oil (Humulus lupulus) white clover (Trifolium repens), tea, tomatoes, various fruits and other vegetable sources. Used in the refining and extraction of fats and oils. Flavouring agent Butanone is an irritant, but serious health effects in animals have been seen only at very high levels. When inhaled, these effects included birth defects.; Butanone occurs as a natural product. It is made by some trees and found in some fruits and vegetables in small amounts. It is also released to the air from car and truck exhausts. The known health effects to people from exposure to butanone are irritation of the nose, throat, skin, and eyes. (wikipedia); Butanone, better known as methyl ethyl ketone or MEK, is an organic compound with the formula CH3C(O)CH2CH3. This colorless liquid ketone has a sharp, sweet odor reminiscent of butterscotch and acetone. It is produced industrially on a large scale, and also occurs in trace amounts in nature.
