solvent power...
. . . key to economical, high-performance solvent systems High-purity methyl ethyl ketone is among the most versatile low-boiling solvents available to the surface coating industry. Its strong solvency for lacquer resins has made it a favorite with formulators. Because its stronger solvent power gives solutions of lower viscosity, higher solids, and greater diluent tolerance—MEK is a preferred replacement for many other low-boiling
solvents. The high diluent tolerance of MEK makes possible lowest cost formulations because the proportions of aromatic and aliphatic solvents may be increased. Technical assistance, backed by years of experience, is available from Shell to assist you with surface coating problems. For more information, write or phone your nearest Shell Chemical office.
