Overview of Methyl Ethyl Ketoxime
Methyl Ethyl Ketoxime (MEKO, C₃H₇NO) is a colorless to pale yellow liquid widely used as a vapor-phase corrosion inhibitor, chemical intermediate, and stabilizer in coatings. It is known for its high reactivity, volatility control, and compatibility with resins, making it a key additive in industrial coatings, adhesives, and polymer systems.
In industrial applications, Methyl Ethyl Ketoxime is valued for its consistent purity, high effectiveness at low concentrations, and stability. It is commonly used alongside Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, and Polyester Resins, available on ChemicalBull for complete formulation and industrial interlinking solutions.
