Is this clean, as is, or does it need distillation for purification for laboratory use?

i have never distilled it, as it is good in my estimates for lab work. i have hever had a problem with its purity.

Will this disolve cured silicone rubber RTV adhesive sealant?

When all else fails I use this. Xylene may work better if you are trying to get rid of RTV by MEK has removed everything that I have thrown at it, including metal etched primer. Make sure you are well ventilated with this stuff as it is STRONG.

No. This product comes in a polypropylene bottle which over time leaks and evaporates. Air/water vapor goes in. The more times you open and close the bottle, the more air in the bottle as it empties, and the more humid the environment, the more water vapor gets in.

Must wear respirator when using

Recd on time. Used today to mix with abs pellets. Used to repair pool skimmer. So far all looks good. Used to mix with abs pellets we’d. need to wait 24 hours for product to cure. Filling the pool today so far it looks good.. good Stuff. After filling pool mixture worked and holding, love it.

Real MEK, not a substitute

REAL M.E.K., not a substitute. It is getting harder to find REAL MEK in stores, so I was thrilled to find and receive this.

Removed Silicone and Epoxy Residue from my Mosaic Waterline Tiles in the Pool.

Removed Silicone and Epoxy Residue from my Mosaic Waterline Tiles in the Pool. Wear gloves, glasses and mask, and work it over the tiles thoroughly and quickly as it evaporates within about 15 seconds, wash off with soapy sponge. Very happy with the results, but cannot over emphasize, safety, safety, safety.

A little bit pricey to reorder.

This is a much needed item. But price is way too high.I did some additional looking at local suppiers and found that I could get a gallon can for not much more.And, had I found it before ordering.....I would have a gallon can for use....

Great Chemical Supply

They shipped the product quick and secure.MEK will be used for making plastic model glue. Everything here no longer has this in it, so just add a bit to Mr Cement S, presto Mr Cement SP!I’ll be ordering the B Acetate next and basically have a lifetime supply.

Works as a thinner for contact cement, improves bonding of plastic parts!

Smells like acetone, but I don’t know what MEK should smell like. However, unlike Acetone, using this to thin the consistency of contact cement to glue PLA, makes the glued parts hold much, much stronger. Tester contact cement without thinning with MEK, could pull them apart 48 hours later. Parts glued by contact cement thinned with MEK, can’t pull apart without breaking the parts. So, it must be MEK, and it definitely works for thinning contact cement type glues, for plastic (PLA in my case).
