Methyl ethyl ketoxime is a white and pure high-performance industrial mineral. This product is an oil-based liquid antioxidant used to store and transport oil-based paints and alkyd paints for the prevention of binding. Methyl ethyl ketoxime prevents skin formation on the pigment dispersions dried with oxidation, inks, varnishes, and paints during the storage.
Methyl ethyl ketoxime is an anti-skin agent utilized with high efficiency for the air-dried inks, paints and coatings. Methyl ethyl ketoxime is used to improve the shelf life of the sealants and silicone adhesives. It is also a preferred product to enhance the functionality of polyurethane coatings.
The Features of Methyl Ethyl Ketoxime
Methyl ethyl ketoxime is a transparent and flammable chemical raw material. Methyl ethyl ketoxime, which provides viscosity stability, prevents gelling during storage. This substance, categorized as solvent as derivative, enters between the titanium dioxide particles with its unique morphological structure and prevents these particles from sticking together. It can obtain whiteness and opacity above the standards.
Methyl ethyl ketoxime provides an advantage in the use of titanium dioxide. Methyl ethyl ketoxime increases the ability to render colour in paint as well as colour stability. It reduces the problem of collapse and phase separation. It has advantages such as maintaining brightness. It increases the mechanical strength. It provides stress, tear and elongation resistance.
Areas of Usage for Methyl Ethyl Ketoxime
Methyl ethyl ketoxime is used in many areas such as latex and solvent-based decorative paints, industrial paints, powder paints, automotive paints, industrial coatings, protective paints, inks, thermoplastics, paper adhesives and thermosets. In addition, its other application areas are cases and insulators, EPDM power cables, masterbatch, film anti-block and rubber.
Since it has good solvent properties in synthetic and natural resin, it is preferred for ink remover varnish, print inks and various paint formulations. It provides a fast drying time in paint applications due to its high evaporation. It takes part in the production of plastic, textile and paints.
It is also used in systems containing alkyd, vinyl and phenolic, cellulose systems, adhesive and paint removers. It is a raw material used in the formulation of cleaning products in the detergent area.
Methyl ethyl ketoxime is preferred as a filler in matte and semi-matte decorative interior and exterior house paints. It provides abrasion resistance in the road line paints. It is used with approximately a ratio of 10% in water and solvent-based paints and 12% for the colour paints.
