Yes. Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) solvent is used as a solvent of cellulose acetate, acrylic resin, alkyd resin, paint, ink, etc.
The common name of butanone is methyl ethyl ketone (MEK).
Regarding the butanone uses, MEK is used in surface coatings, adhesives, printing inks, chemical intermediates, tapes, and lubricant dewaxing agents. MEK is also used as an extraction medium for fats, oils, waxes, and resins. It can be used as an efficient general-purpose solvent for surface coating.
It is a dangerous chemical, and direct contact can cause certain harm to the human body, such as coughing, dizziness, headache, nausea, blurred vision, and may cause people to pass out.
MEK can remove paint, and it evaporates very fast and will not cause rust.
