Description:

2-Hexanone is also known as methyl n-butyl ketone, MBK, or propyl acetone. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a sharp odor. It dissolves very easily in water and can evaporate easily into the air as a vapor.

It is formed as a waste product resulting from industrial activities such as making wood pulp and producing gas from coal, and in oil shale operations. In the past, 2-hexanone was used in paint and paint thinner, to make other chemical substances, and to dissolve oils and waxes.
