butanones
Butanones are a class of organic compounds belonging to the ketone family. They are characterized by a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two ethyl groups. The most common and simplest butanone is 2-butanone, also known as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). This colorless liquid possesses a sharp, sweet odor and is widely used as a solvent in various industrial applications.
2-Butanone is miscible with water and most organic solvents, which makes it an effective solvent for resins,
Other less common butanones exist, such as 3-butanone, which is a more reactive isomer. However, 2-butanone dominates
