Methyl isobutyl carbinol is an excellent medium boiling point solvent. It is mainly used as a solvent for dyes, petroleum, rubber, resin, paraffin, nitrocellulose and ethyl cellulose, etc. It is used as an inert solvent for nitrocellulose paint, which can increase the gloss and flatness of the paint, improve the reddening performance, and is used as a solvent in the manufacture of lubricant additives. It can also be used as a raw material for organic synthesis, a mineral flotation detergent, such as extracting silicon and copper sulfate ore, and can also be used in brake fluids. It is also used as a foaming agent, dispersant, detergent, plasticizer, surfactant, lubricant, and cosmetics, photographic industry drugs, etc.
Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The warehouse temperature should not exceed 30℃. It should be stored separately from oxidants and should not be mixed. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and appropriate containment materials. |
