Methyl ethyl ketone is a clear, colourless fluid that is less viscous than water and has a somewhat acute odor that smells most of the ketones and is described by some as being similar to Boerscot. Compared with acetone it is less volatile and less soluble in water (about 27.5g / 100mL at room temperature). It is a solvent used for extracting gums and oils from plants and cleaning the remnants of metal and glass, so why often a cleaner or ingredient is found
1.2.3. as a solvent
Botanone is an effective and common solvent used in processes which involving gums, resins, cellulose acetate, nitrocellulose, and vinyl films. For this reason, it finds its use in the plastic and textile industry, in the production of paraffin wax, and in household products such as varnish, varnish, paint remover, change agent for deformation of alcohol, glue, and as a cleaning agent. It has solvent properties similar to acetone but has a much slower rate. Potanon is also used in dry erase marks as a solvent of erasable dye.
1.2.4. as a welding agent
2. Polystyrene is also melted and sold as a "polystyrene cement" to be used to bind together parts of typical scale kits. Although they are often considered adhesive, they actually act as a welder in this context.

The oxidation of N-butane from N-butane occurs in the liquid phase according to the radical mechanism produced by MEC as the intermediate and acetic acid as the final product. Mice and acetic acid (0.2: 1.0 mass ratio) are obtained by non-oxidizing liquid phase oxidation at 1800C and 53 bars with remixing. Continuous oxidation under the flow conditions of components at 1500C, 65 bar and the stay time of 2-7 minutes constitute MEK and acetic acid by 3: 1 mass. This process has a slight economic advantage over the removal of 2-butanol. But the main factor is the availability and price of
