ISOPHORONE... Additional Quantities n o w Available! Isophorone is one of the most powerful of the commercially available high boiling solvents (B. P. 215.2° C) for nitrocellulose and vinyl resins. Its use in protective coat ings and inks is well established. In addition to its high solvency for oils, resins, and gums commonly used in coating work, Isophorone has a 6.2 dilution ratio with toluene and 5.1 dilution ratio with xylene. The chemical structure of Isophorone incorporates in one molecule a six-member carbon ring and a conjugated system of double bonds involving a carbonyl group. These features point to innumerable opportunities for its use in chem ical syntheses. Among the possibilities are the synthesis of insecticides,
