Diisobutyl Ketone (DIBK)

Diisobutyl Ketone (DIBK)

Diisobutyl Ketone (DIBK) is a medium-evaporating, low-odor ketone solvent with excellent solvency power for resins, polymers, and coatings.
It offers a balance between evaporation rate and solvency, making it ideal for use in paint formulations, industrial cleaning, and synthetic resin processing.

Compared to other ketones such as MIBK, DIBK provides slower drying, better flow and leveling, and improved gloss, which makes it a preferred choice in high-performance coatings and industrial finishes.

Kemkote supplies high-purity DIBK suitable for paints, coatings, inks, adhesives, and cleaning applications.

Problem Solved: Many industrial coatings and cleaning processes require solvents that balance evaporation rate, solvency, and odor control — common ketones like MIBK can dry too fast or create gloss inconsistencies.


Product Solution: DIBK offers an optimal evaporation profile for superior film formation and flow, while its low odor and high solvency ensure excellent performance in both coatings and cleaning formulations.


Examples of Industries:

Automotive and industrial coating manufacturers seeking better flow and leveling

Paint and ink formulators looking for balanced drying and improved gloss

Adhesive producers requiring strong solvency with minimal odor

Industrial and electronics cleaning OEMs needing slow-evaporating solvent
