With the way

Butanone mainly used as solvent, such as used in the lubricating oil dewaxing, coating industry and a variety of resin, solvent, the extraction process of the vegetable oil and refining process of azeotropic distillation, its advantage is strong solubility, low volatile than acetone, belong to the boiling point ketone solvents.Butanone and the preparation of pharmaceuticals, dyes, detergents, spices, antioxidants and some catalysts are intermediates, synthetic resistance peeling agent methyl ethyl ketone oxime, polymerization catalyst methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, corrosion inhibitor and dispersant methyl pentine alcohol, etc., in the electronics industry as a developer after integrated circuit lithography.
