What is Methyl Ethyl Ketone Market?

Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), also called 2-butanone, represents a highly volatile organic liquid that is commonly used as a commercial solvent and cleaner for paints, glues, coatings, synthetic rubber, paraffin wax, printing inks, etc. It is manufactured by the dehydrogenation of secondary butyl alcohol and can also be produced as a by-product of butane oxidation. As such, MEK is extensively utilized for the extraction of oils, waxes, fats, resins, etc., and acts as a low-boiling solvent for nitrocellulose, acrylic, and vinyl surface coatings. In line with this, it assists in removing oil paint finish and contact cement from surfaces and manufacturing solvent-based inks for high-resolution commercial printing in books, labels, newspapers, etc.

Methyl Ethyl Ketone Market Trends:

The growing levels of industrialization are primarily driving the methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) market. Additionally, the rising adoption of this liquid as an industrial solvent to produce quick-drying, water- and powder-based paints and printing inks that are used with substrates, such as glass, metals, plastics, etc., is further catalyzing the market growth. Besides this, the increasing utilization of methyl ethyl ketone in the pharmaceuticals industry, as it improves the penetration rate of medicinal drugs and breaks down the structure of quaternary proteins in the body, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. 

Moreover, the escalating demand for MEK-based inks in the construction and automotive sectors is positively influencing the global market. Apart from this, the inflating popularity of methyl ethyl ketone in the production of aesthetics, antiseptics, lotions, and other personal care products is also propelling the market growth. 

Furthermore, extensive investments by government bodies for infrastructural development projects are anticipated to fuel the methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) market over the forecasted period.
