· Employed in printing inks and coating inks for its excellent flow and leveling properties ;
· Serves as a solvent and dispersant for organosol type resins in industrial applications ;
· Used in leather finishing applications, adhesives, and sealants ;
· Acts as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes ;
Product Features
2,6-Dimethyl-4-heptanone is produced via aldol condensation of isobutyraldehyde followed by hydrogenation, ensuring efficient and cost-effective manufacturing . With a purity exceeding 99%, it delivers consistent performance in solvent and industrial applications. The product exhibits excellent solvency for many synthetic resins including nitrocellulose, rosin esters, phenolics, hydrocarbons, alkyds, polyesters, and acrylics . It is useful as a retarder solvent to improve flow and minimize humidity blushing in coating applications . The low density and low surface tension enable formulators to develop high-solids coatings with low VOC content and excellent flow and leveling properties . The Company adopts advanced analytical instruments such as GC to detect samples, which enables the products to reach the industry standard for their respective applications.
