4-Hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone, is used as a solvent. It is also used as an intermediate of chemical products and is used as solvent for some industrial paint to adjust thesolubility of paint resins and regulate the evaporation rate. It is mainly used in paints and coatings (coil coatings, wood varnishes, architectural coatings…). It is a good solvent for organic peroxides.It can also be used for the treatment of textiles and leather, in chemical synthesis or as a cleaning solvent.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
