Powerful fast-drying solvent for demanding industrial cleaning and coating applications.
MEK Solvent, also known as Methyl Ethyl Ketone, is a high-performance industrial solvent widely used for cleaning, degreasing and thinning compatible coatings and adhesives. It delivers strong solvency power to effectively dissolve oils, greases, resins, adhesives and surface contaminants, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications where rapid evaporation and residue-free results are required. MEK is commonly used to prepare surfaces prior to bonding or coating, clean tools and equipment, and adjust viscosity in industrial formulations. Key benefits include fast drying time, high cleaning efficiency and consistent performance in demanding environments. Compared to milder solvents, MEK provides more aggressive solvency, reducing cleaning time and improving process efficiency. It is widely used across manufacturing, automotive, construction and industrial maintenance sectors where reliable solvent performance is critical to achieving clean surfaces, strong adhesion and consistent production results.
