[Chemical Knowledge]:What are the upstream raw materials for methyl ethyl ketone? What are the downstream products?

Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) is an important organic chemical raw material, which is widely used in coatings, inks, adhesives, cleaning agents and other fields. In the field of raw materials for chemical production, the upstream and downstream related products of methyl ethyl ketone mainly include the following aspects:

upstream products:

1. acetone: the production of methyl ethyl ketone mainly uses acetone as raw material and is generated through catalytic hydrogenation reaction. Therefore, the price and availability of acetone have a large impact on the production of methyl ethyl ketone.

downstream products:

1. Coating: Methyl ethyl ketone can be used as a solvent in the coating to improve the leveling and drying of the coating and improve the performance of the coating film.
2. Ink: Methyl ethyl ketone can be used as a solvent in the ink to improve the fluidity and drying of the ink and improve the printing effect.
3. Adhesive: Methyl ethyl ketone can be used as a solvent in the adhesive to improve the bonding strength and drying speed of the adhesive.
4. cleaning agent: methyl ethyl ketone can be used as a solvent in cleaning agent, used to clean metal, glass and other surface oil stains and stains.

In addition, methyl ethyl ketone can also be used to produce some special chemicals, such as:

1. Methyl isobutyl ketone: Methyl ethyl ketone can react with isobutylene to generate methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl isobutyl Ketone is a high-performance solvent that can be used to produce coatings, inks, etc.
2. methyl methacrylate: methyl ethyl ketone can be used as one of the raw materials, and formaldehyde, methanol and other reactions to generate methyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate is an important organic glass monomer, can be used in the production of organic glass, plastic and so on.

In short, methyl ethyl ketone has a wide range of upstream and downstream related products in the field of chemical production raw materials, which plays an important role in promoting the development of the chemical industry.
