product introduction

Kabasph^®MIAK (Methyl Isoamyl Ketone, also known as 5-methyl-2-hexanone or isoheptanone) is a colorless transparent liquid with a light, pleasant odor. It exhibits good dissolving power for cellulose acetate, acrylic resins, polyvinyl formal resins, and nitrocellulose. MIAK combines multiple performance advantages, including high solvent activity, a slow evaporation rate, low surface tension, and a high boiling point. It performs particularly well in high-solids coating systems, effectively reducing coating viscosity and helping formulators achieve low-viscosity, high-solids coating designs while meeting increasingly stringent VOC environmental regulations.

In addition, MIAK holds significant value in organic synthesis, serving as a key raw material for the production of p-phenylenediamine-based rubber antioxidants (such as 7PPD, 77PD, and TMPPD). Compared to esters, aromatic hydrocarbons, and glycol ether solvents with similar evaporation rates, MIAK's lower density makes it an ideal choice that balances environmental compliance and performance.

Application Area

High-Performance Coatings	Particularly suitable for high-solids coatings (e.g., automotive OEM coatings, refinish coatings), effectively reducing viscosity and VOC content
Polymer Solvent	Used as a polymerization solvent for high-solids acrylic resins, as well as for cellulose acetate, polyvinyl formal resins, nitrocellulose, etc.
Resins	Used as a solvent or co-solvent to provide good solvency, improve resin compatibility, processing viscosity, application performance, flow and film formation, and optimize evaporation balance.
Organic Synthesis	Serves as a key raw material for the production of p-phenylenediamine-based rubber antioxidants (e.g., 7PPD, 77PD, TMPPD)
Printing Inks	Suitable for high-end printing inks such as digital printing inks, thanks to its low surface tension and slow evaporation rate
