Acetonitrile

Acetonitrile is the chemical compound with the formula CH3CN. This colorless liquid is the simplest organic nitrile (hydrogen cyanide is a simpler nitrile, but the cyanide anion is not classed as organic). It is produced mainly as a byproduct of acrylonitrile manufacture. It is used as a polar aprotic solvent in organic synthesis and in [...]

Acetic Acid

Acetic Acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH3COOH (also written as CH3CO2H or C2H4O2). It is a colorless liquid that when undiluted is also called glacial acetic acid. Vinegar is roughly 4%-8% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. Acetic acid has a distinctive [...]

1,4 Butanediol

1,4 Butanediol a colorless, organic liquid derived from butane by placement of alcohol groups at each end of the chain. 1,4 Butanediol is one of four stable isomers of butanediol. In the presence of phosphoric acid and high temperature, it dehydrates to the important solvent tetrahydrofuran (THF). Uses: Coatings, ink, adhesives, plastics, rubber. 1,4-Butanediol is [...]

Styrene Monomers

Styrene Monomers (also known as STY, styrene monomer, vinyl benzene, phenylethylene, styrol, styrole, styrolene, cinnamene, styron, and cinnamol) is a clear, colourless to yellow, oily liquid with a sweet smell. It has the formula C8H8 and it evaporates easily and is also flammable. Styrene is an essential component in the making of 1000′s of everyday [...]

Vinyl Acetate Monomer

Vinyl Acetate Monomer (also known as acetic acid ethenyl ester, acetic acid ethylene ether, acetoxyethene, 1-acetoxyethylene, ethenyl ethanoate, ethenyl acetate, and acetic acid vinyl ester) is a colourless mobile liquid with a pungent odour. It has the formula CH3COOCH=CH2 and is a key raw material in the production of chemicals which are then used to [...]

Acetone

Acetone a colorless, volatile, extremely flammable liquid ketone, CH3COCH3, widely used as an organic solvent. Uses include as a solvent for numerous organic substances and as a component of most paint and varnish removers. It is used in the manufacture of synthetic resins and fillers, smokeless powders (e.g., cordite), and numerous other organic compounds. CAS [...]

Cyclohexanone

Cyclohexanone (also known as Oxocyclohexane, pimelic ketone, cyclohexyl ketone, and CYC) is a clear oily liquid that has a colourless to light yellow tinge and a pungent odour. It has the formula C6H10O and is slightly soluble in water and is completely miscible with common solvents. It occurs naturally in crude oils and is also [...]

Di Iso Butyl Ketone

Di Iso Butyl Ketone (also known as DIBK, 2,6-Dimethyl-4-heptanone, Isovalerone, and Isobutyl ketone) is a clear, colourless, stable liquid with a mild, sweet odour reminiscent of peppermint. It is miscible with most organic compounds, is immiscible with water, and has the formula C9H18O. It is a solvent with a high-boiling point and which is also [...]

Methyl Ethyl Ketone

Methyl Ethyl Ketone (also known as MEK, butanone, 2-butanone, butan-2-one, oxobutane, or methyl acetone) is a clear volatile liquid that is soluble in water and has a mild, acetone odour. It has the formula C4H8O. Methyl ethyl ketone does occur naturally as it is biosynthesized by some trees and is also found in small amounts [...]

Methyl Iso Butyl Ketone

Methyl Iso Butyl Ketone (also known as MIBK, methyl isobutyl ketone, and mono-iso butyl ketone) is a clear, colourless liquid with a characteristic ketone odour. It has the chemical formula C6H12 and is slightly soluble in water and is miscible with most organic solvents. Substance name:methyl isobutyl ketone Trade name:Methyl Isobutyl Ketone EC no:203-550-1 CAS [...]
