CAS No 111-13-7 HS Code 2914190090 Molecular formula C₈H₁₆O Molecular weight 128.21

Product description

2-Octanone (methyl hexyl ketone, CAS 111-13-7) is a high-purity ketone solvent with ≥99.2% content, valued for its excellent solvency across a wide range of organic compounds. In the fragrance industry, it contributes fruity and floral notes as a versatile aroma intermediate. Its favorable safety profile (low toxicity, acidity ≤0.05%) makes it suitable for pharmaceutical and fine chemical synthesis. With chroma ≤30 (platinum-cobalt) and moisture ≤0.15%, our 2-Octanone meets the exacting standards required for coatings, solvent production, and specialty chemical manufacturing. The compound's moderate evaporation rate and good blending characteristics make it an ideal solvent for high-performance coating formulations.

Where it is used

One batch, one specification — pick your downstream process for grade advice.

Solvent

Solvent

Solvent choice trades evaporation rate against solvency: a moderate rate leaves time to flow and level, a fast rate shortens the drying step. We match the solvent specification to the resin system and to the drying window the line runs at.

Fragrance Industry

Fragrance Industry

Fragrance and flavour houses need intermediates with a stable odour profile and consistent purity, because trace impurities carry through to the finished compound. Odour profile and purity limits are fixed on the buyer's own specification.

Chemical Intermediate

Chemical Intermediate

Downstream synthesis inherits whatever the intermediate carries, so a consistent assay and low impurity levels matter more than a headline purity figure. The buyer's own specification sets the assay limits we ship, not a catalogue range.

Coatings

Coatings

A coating needs solvency for the resin and a film that stays flexible without staying tacky, and the solvent's evaporation rate sets how long it can flow and level. We match solvent and plasticizer to the formulation and to the cure schedule.
