Template:Chembox Footer/trackingTemplate:Short description
2-Hexanone, also known as methyl butyl ketone, MBK, is an organic compoundwith the molecular formula Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.CH3C(O)(CH2)3CH3. It is classified as a ketone. The compound is a colorless, water-like liquid that is used as a general solvent and in paints.[5] It dissolves cellulose nitrate, vinyl polymers and copolymers, and natural and synthetic resins. It is recommended as a solvent because it is photochemically inactive;[6] however it has a very low safe threshold limit value.
Safety
2-Hexanone is absorbed through the lungs, orally and dermally and its metabolite, 2,5-hexanedione, is neurotoxic.[7] Animal tests have shown that the neurotoxic effect of 2-hexanone may be potentiated by simultaneous administration of 2-butanone (methyl ethyl ketone, MEK).[8]
